To make my point, I will be using the basic Amarr frames in an example.

Amarr Basic Frame_____EHP_____EHP Difference
Heavy . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .960 . . . . . . . . . ---
--- . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . --- . . . . . . . . . .600
Medium . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 360 . . . . . . . . .---
--- . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . --- . . . . . . . . . .130
Light . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .230 . . . . . . . . .---

Notice anything? The difference between medium and light EHP is only 21.667% the EHP difference between medium and heavy. Medium frames are closer to being light frames than medium frames in terms of EHP.

Medium frames should have an EHP closer to the mean average of heavy and light EHP. So in the example, the Amarr medium frame should have an EHP around 554.5.

The problem with fixing this problem is that through modules, a medium frame would be able to easily reach heavy levels of EHP. The most obvious solution would be to make armor plates and shield extenders give percentile bonuses instead of flat out number bonuses. With these two problems addressed, we can put an end to the cries to buff medium frames and stop suit EHP from trespassing into the domain of other classes.


PS: If you got the joke in the title, +1.

Nice job omitting hit box and strafe speed data, which shreds the argument apart.

Wait you want me to have an Assault suit with 1200 EHP?

i would much rather plates do a set amount instead of percent based, just because the percent base would end up giving way more ehp in the long run with suits that can have 4-5 slots on the right side.

I say give plates a bit more movement restrictions to it and it will make a lot more think twice about stacking more then 1 or 2 armor plates

It also limits Minmatar capacity to armour tank.

Min are an adaptive race, able to Shield or Armour tank as they see fit...... since the have naturally less EHP, and less in terms of distribution between shield and armour if HP modules increased by percentage Minmatar suffer the worst being less able to tank either shield or armour.......
