while in the shower, was thinking of what I wanted to do come 1.8 if a respect if given. Having played every suit role at one point or another, I've still always come back to the assault suit, even though (and especially) come 1.8, that role seems will be "fazed" out. Never the less, it got me to thinking the basic Q .... Shields or Armor suit ; as most likey will have to dual tank with how the meta will be and how damage mods have been altered.
It got me thinking into possible setups and positives/negatives to each; when something "hit me". Say you take a Gal. Assault suit, and put 2 plates on it, repper, and ?? 4th slot, put in your equp/weap/nade/etc . You can get ~500 armor and such, leaving you your 3 high slots. Say you use 2 of them for complex extenders. That puts you up to a ~290/500 hp setup. You're thinking, great whats the point. The point comes in the aspect of the extenders negative passive of 7% depleted delay. Now, I believe on all the suits besides the Caldari come 1.8, the depleted delay is 10s . So the Gal in this case would be 11.4s.
Take the same idea into a Caldari suit. You shield tank the top in your 4 slots. However, this gives you a 28% depleted delay rate, making the initial 8s -->10.24 sec .
The main thought I had was, would it be better suited to remove the delay penalty, as by adding hp to a shield suit, you in fact make it "weaker" in causing a high depleted delay, and the only way to counter it back to normal is adding a complex regulator, which in tern means you'd be sacrificing hp (in lower slot to duel tank) in order to do that. If not, the 2s disparity b/t shield and armor suit I reduction to a 1s difference.
If you'd say the penalty is still needed to have some negative aspect like some plates have; would a increase to that of regulators be a better option; as it'd give a better incentive to only shield tank w/ a faster depleted/general recharge rate then adding armor to duel tank ?

agreed . Reason mentioned shield buff on a few topics; is if you buff shield extenders (and even if keep penalty), if you allow say 3 current extenders to =2 of a new type; it frees a high slot for either another extender, or even a recharger/energizer, or maybe even precision enhancement mods. That will in itself allow for diversity to be created that otherwise wouldn't be.
