My Plasma Rifle disagrees.
Melting shields is so deliciously quick, while melting armor takes forever.
The problem is that the two most common rifles are anti armor (The CR and the RR), hence your survivability goes down the drain.

Plasma Cannon, Plasma Rifle, Ion Pistol, Scrambler Rifle, Scrambler Pistol, Laser Rifle, Shotgun.

Hmm...
Two of these suck, two others are situational, and the scrambler weapons aren't common due to them being skillful in nature.
So yeah, not surprising that the majority of weapons on the field are anti armor, the anti shields weapons are either situational or unwieldy, or just plain bad.

But all the weapons seems to do more damage on armor than on shield.My 200 hp shield cal scout is much more survivable than my 300 hp gal scout. Sure armor will have more hp when fitted ,but come on armor does no repair itself & also has movement penalty, shield on the other hand regenerates automatically at a faster rate & has no movement penalty. Also most of the time the hit detection does not work on shield tanked suits. Well, I've got some interesting numbers for you regarding hybrid weaps :3 For Plasma Rifles, the damage profile is 110/95. However, by getting Proficiency 5 on the PR or AR, the damage profiles is then 110/110, since you get +15% damage against armor. Combine this with a suit like Gal commando means you get an additional +10% damage (provided max suit skill) Tack on a Complex Damage Mod and you have: 125/125. Hella my nig that is a great ratio.
Uhhh... No.
Hybrid Plasma weapons are 110/90.
Proficiency gives you a damage bonus to the strong part of the weapon, so in the case of Hybrid Plasma, it's shields.
So it's 135/90.
Also, the Commando damage bonus is applied directly to the weapon damage, not to the efficiency.
Same for damage modifiers.

But the popularity of anti-armour weapons should not be overlooked. You actually belive it? Lyn beck is just butthurt, it's his 3rd thread on it.
Actually, I'm starting to believe the problem exists.
It is the only suit I have issues with, even Minmatar scouts I can easily hit.
And my main weaponry is anti shields, so if anything I should have issues with Gal and Amarr scouts more than Cal.
