Nerfing the suits skill is counter productive... I've seen others mention that armour modules can be changed to a % based value, instead of a fixed 148.5hp per complex plate, and calculated the result based off of that assumption. If done correctly, this allows a decent amount of hp between light, medium, and heavy suits, without changing the current hp values of the medium and heavy suits. My results were that Gallente assaults and logis retain an approximate 950 armour, Gallente Sentinels retain 1200-1300 armour, and Gallente Scouts have about 550 armour. The previous values are all using the maximum values when using a proto suit.

The title states otherwise, and it states fixing the Gallente Scout tanking issue, which is solved when you simply change the armour value, making it less versatile compared to other suits, and changing it from a buffed up assault/logi. The % value, for example of about 80% per complex plate from the suit's base health, which is 130 armour for the Gallente Scout, is 104 armour per complex plate. A Prototype Gallente Scout has 4 low slots, and can have a maximum of 416 armour in plating with this system. That with the base suit armour (130) and the Amour skill bonus that offers +25% armour of the base suit armour (32.5), equates to a maximum of 578.5 armour HP, which is significantly lower than the Gallente Assault and Logi suits, who retain their health of around 950-980 armour with this system.

Are you actually serious? Since when are plates giving away signatures? Would it not make more sense that shield extenders increase your signature because of the higher amount of power emitted?
