While STD and ADV extenders are problematic, at prototype shield tanking is JUST as viable as prototype armor tanking.
My intentions is to have a fun game for everyone.
If I seem to be biased, I have good hard data to back it up.

And no, shields aren't "weaker".
There are actually more anti armor damage types than there are shield ones.

But you can run pretty much just as fast as me. You have the same speed, more HP, and your HP is worth more. Cal suits need a buff on HP and on speed. I don't want to dual tank anymore, I want to shield tank alone and have all the benefits of it: speed and fast regen. But that can't happen unless the differences of shield and armour are readdressed.
Didn't know 0.4m/s difference is just as fast.
That's almost the difference between an assault and a scout 
And all I'm using is two enhanced plates.
Not to mention that the strafe speed penalty is actually double, because of CCP math.
The HP isn't "worth more", the most popular weapons are anti armor, and there are more anti armor damage types than shield damage types.
And the base recharge of the Caldari assault is pretty much more than I can ever dream of in my Gallente assault, and the delays haven't been rebalanced yet on medium frames, expect faster delays SoonTM.

Even Adv is still very affordable fitting wise
It's bad scaling yes.
But that does not mean proto shields need a buff too, they're perfectly balanced with armor.
The top players I encounter in PC shield tank.

CCP didn't get a chance to rebalance delays on medium frames.
Look at heavies and scouts, their delays are at most 5 on Caldari.
Besides, my armor suit takes 80 seconds to fully repair, cry me a river.

Quit whining. way more than a few seconds If you can't wait 20 seconds to repair then thats your own problem. well in that 20 seconds a gallente medium frame with 1 complex extender will heal 165 hp now also take into account it was healing while taking fire he can throw down a nano hive that instant repairs his friend can heal him with a repair tool
125HP
The AR produces 8,250 damage in 20 seconds, so it doesn't really matter.
Nanohives have been heavily nerfed, and their HP is so low, you can sneeze at one and cut off that person's regen. (I do it all the time)
His friend is a meatbag that can be killed.
His weapon can do much more DPS than he can repair his own friend.
