For those who like graphs:
Old plate efficiency
New plate efficiency
As can be seen, the basic plate + basic ferro are still by far the best bang for the fitting, but it's not so egregious as it used to be.
I am okay with basic ferro being so fitting-efficient because the absolute amount of hp it provides is actually quite low.
However, the wide disparity in efficiencies between tiers of ferro and plates is still a bit troubling.

Complex [plate] isn't really that desirable anyway. 12 PG 30 CPU is a lot more than the other plates require and you're only increasing that.
Makes sense; the hit points per unit of fitting get worse as you go up tiers.

Rattati, I think the huge nerfs to standard and advanced locus grenades are counterproductive and break Dust's game design conventions to no good purpose.
Obligatory link to me showing my reasoning

My reasoning was straightforward and based on relative hp per frame. I think it's lazy and cheap to spam two basic grenades and basically OHK anything, even heavies. The general population never, and has never migrated from the basic grenade because it's enough. And that goes against everything I think dust is about. I however, noticed a typo, proto was supposed to stay the same.
So, basic grenades are OP because you spend 900 ISK and throw two grenades with a five second delay and kill someone, but a standard assault rifle is not OP for the same capability? And remotes are also okay for the same capability?
But if those same grenades cost 20k or so for core locus, it would be okay, in contrast to prototype assault rifles that get only a tiny bit better for the 47k they cost.
I suspect there will be a lot of blueprint suits with core locus grenades and nano hives in my future.

Shield regen happens per second right? Maybe you could just check that damage taken since the last regen tick and if it is past a certain threshold then no regen for you.
But the shield thing is designed to stop small arms fire from halting shield regen, so it could get tricky.

For modules, this is true.
However, militia weapons are strictly worse than standard-grade weapons:
* lower clip size / max ammo
* longer charge time
* higher fitting
