as long as we get a shield version too

This low slot module increases armor HP by a % rather than a set value.
Has the benefit of no speed penalty and no CPU usage, but usually plates would be overall better in terms of HP gains.

Would come in two variants.
One is just the standard Armor Layering, that increases overall armor HP by a small %.
The other is Energized Armor Layering, that increases overall armor HP by a larger amount, at the cost of CPU usage.

I am sick to death of Pod People wanting to add complexity from EVE when the basic game still doesn't work!

Make guns work. Make reloads work. Have equipment (even ganked) be accessible.
And for Tanks too! Rail guns fail to work, Missile turrets as well although Blasters fail they don't seem to fail as often.
How about selecting modules and having them be selectable instead of random. Wow! What a concept.
Quit changing the entire game while refusing to refund all the SP from the totally different game. We get suit refund but the updates are now completely wrong. Not to mention half the weapons will not be useful for most suits/bonuses combinations.
Fix the blasted mesh so tanks and Mercs don't die in by just being in the game.
Solve the crashes, dc'd, fatal errors and hard PS3 crashes (yes, a few hours before shutdown 15 Mar. Again!).

Then we can discuss EVE BS. Recall the EVE Meta levels? Yeah, they are junk and not used. They were just more EVE trash.

I just want Dust to work. I really don't think that is too much to ask, 'cause we are nearly at a year of release.

Fan Fest is around the corner and we will get yet another game changer according to the Dev teasers. Which will be VR and not playable on the PS3. That would be quite funny now that I think of it.

We would need really high armor or a really high bonus for those to work. Like upwards of 1.5%, AND!! We need the Gallente suits to have more freaking HP in armor than Caldari have shields...

Eh, shields aren't really about HP.

I had other ideas for shields, for example, a module that gives you a quick HP injection once the recharge delay has passed, so you can start fighting faster.

They're not supposed to give you more HP than plates.
They're supposed to be cheaper CPU/PG wise and have no penalty.

It depends, on some ships if you apply a really high armor plate and then a energized plating you get a very high armor bonus that sometimes exceeds the initial plate. This allows for the pilot to open up his low slots while not sacrifice much of a tank of speed.

Yeah well it would be difficult to pull off in DUST.

Are you serious ?
You already have more Armor than Amarr which is supposed to be THE armor suit......

You are Armor Regen suit with average Armor, you're NOT supposed to have a bigger ehp.

Your suits are already the best.
