Sounds fair makes basic shield extenders worth it

I prefer option 2, because option 1 just means nearly no one will use complex sheild extenders because they give little bonus over ADV for huge increase in fitting cost. It's the major problem with armor plates.

The fitting options are nice solid numbers, like that they require loads of cpu but little pg.

Penalties...If you took option 2 then they are fine. Right now there isn't much wrong with the penalties, they really don't need reduced to plate levels. Speed loss is much worse shields depletion rate...and it's not close.

Oh yeah Opt 2

+1 good idea

Penalty should stay how it is right now.

If you leave it like that, it'll make dual tanking more viable than it already is.

I do feel like PRO needs a slight buff from 66. I know the current HP and penalty values off the top of my head, but not the fitting values. Can you post a before/after?

I like the reduced penalties.

I would like to see very minor buffs to all the shield modules in general.

Penalty is already laughable.
On the Caldari scout, 4x complex extenders adds an extra second.
If anything the penalty should increase.

Fitting values are way too high still

complex shield extender has 6x the fitting cost that a basic armor plate costs ... facepalm

Everything else is fine.
Though I might add, on my Gallente Assault, 1 PG = 40 CPU.

Using the ratio between the two.

Nope because armor gets more gimped through the penalty than shields.

shields get max 7% to depleted shield delay (note no penalty to shield delay)

armor gets max 5%

to walking speed
to sprintspeed (seems to get double penalty due to a possible bug)
to jump hight
to strafe speed (seems to get double penalty due to a possible bug)

ANd the shield penalty can be completely nullified through regulators that go to lows (not reducing potential hp) where armor can just nullify the sprint speed penalty by reducing potential hp (kincats go to the low)
