But could we please standardize the Minmatar suits so their base stats are shield based? Currently we have minassaults and minscouts are mainly shield, and minlogi and minsentinel are mainly armor, but they all have very good shield delay and shield regeneration stats.
Especially now that the standardized slot layout matrix has the Minmatar favoring high slots over lows when they have to choose, it's pretty clear that in the Dust 514 side of the EvE universe, Minmatar were meant to favor shields. Considering their high speed, it logically fits their MO of combat.
So if we could make it so minlogi's are 150shield/90armor instead of 90shield/150armor and make minsentinels 435shield/390armor instead of 390shield/435armor, that would be great.
SP Sinks? Fixed.

Your problem is that none of what your basing your assumptions on is true.
Other then 4 sips specifically built for shield tanking in EVE... Minmatar Are universal tankers... You can never guess if a ship is shield or armor. Most of the best Minmatar ships and fits are armor based.
Dust's problem with Minmatar suits is they gave Amarr a general slot layout... More even places High and low slots... and then gave minmatar completely shield based slot loadouts.
THEN, tried to tell us minmatar are the wild cards. Which isn't even remotely true or even follow's EVE lore and what happens there.
When CCP went to build DUST 514... There was no meeting where Hilmar(CCP CEO) and the DUST team sat down and discussed the entire concept and how it all flows together between the lore. What we have today in DUST is largely thanks to the community reminding the CCP employees in Shanghai that they are working in the New Eden universe... Not just making up whatever is convenient for them doing the least amount of work as possible. Which sadly explains most of the "Features" we have been given over the last year. |

Look, I understand what it is you are saying, but there is no reason that the Minmatar would use the same battle mentality in infantry combat as they would in space. If you are trying to argue lore, then the Minmatar are adaptive, and they choose what works. There is no reason that, just because EvE did it, we have to do it too.
The way Dust 514 has built the Minmatar points towards shield tanking all the way. I see no reason why they shouldn't build on that even more.
SP Sinks? Fixed.

But that's our thing, we have the least total hitpoints....Amarr smash everyone in toe-to-toe due to their sturdy base build. Caldari beast our shields and Gallente nearly starts with as much armor as we can buff to. The strength of Minmatar is their flexibility, relegating us to only shield tankers would make us the.same as Caldari....except Minmatar is the fastest faction, Caldari only being the third fastest of the four.
If Preparation is half of the battle and knowing is the other half, Then there is no need to fight.

I always thought Minmatar favoured speed and damage over tank anyway. |
