Shields and armour plates with less hp than normal, quite a lot less but offer resistances to whatever type of weapon you wish.

Shields are the higher HP values.

STD - 4% 15HP/25HP
ADV - 8% 30HP/45HP
Proto - 10% 45HP/50HP

Separate ones for either projectile, rail,blaster, laser and explosive.

Iv not thought about numbers or anything at all, just brain farts to get it on here. Change it how you wish etc. It is easily done as it will simply be modifications of our current plates and shields.

Go.

I love the idea of resistance modules!

I think separating them out to projectile, rail, blaster, laser, and explosive is too granular. It would also mean more time to develop the modules and make balancing them more difficult. I would suggest just a flat damage reduction. This module would need to suffer from a stacking penalty to keep players from stacking them to high heaven.

This probably goes without saying, but the resistance modules would only provide resistance appropriate to their module type. For example, the shield module reduces damage taken to shield HP by X%, not armor.

For simplicity sake, I would also give them the same HP value from STD -> ADV -> PRO. This would make balancing them easier and allow buffer modules like the armor plates and shield extenders to remain kings of raw HP bonus.

Reworked stats:

STD
4% damage resistance
Armor: 35 HP / Shield: 22 HP

ADV
8% damage resistance
Armor: 35 HP / Shield: 22 HP

PRO
10% damage resistance
Armor: 35 HP / Shield: 22 HP

The armor module would occupy a low slot, the shield would occupy a high slot.

They'd be worthless on anything but an already overly bricked heavy.

I like the idea of resistances, but I don't think it should have a double effect of also increasing shields/armor. Just the damage reduction.

Still, +1

Why not? Reactives give armor repair AND armor HP.

Resistances+HP, on the other hand, would be synergistic, which makes them overly efficient. Not only would you get your 10% resistance to your base armor, but also 10% resistance on the +35 armor that came with the module.

that is a weak troll attempt.

1/10

Point taken.

Stat version 3.0:

STD
4% damage resistance

ADV
8% damage resistance

PRO
10% damage resistance

Skill wise, I would add a Shield Resistance Membrane and Armor Resistance Coating to the trees. Each skill increases the efficacy by 5% per level. Some examples...

STD Shield Resistance Membrane with skill to III: 4 * (1.15) = 4.6%
PRO Armor Resistance Coating with skill to V: 10 * (1.25) = 12.5%
ADV Shield Resistance Membrane with skill to IV: 8 * (1.20) = 9.6%

It's not a troll attempt, it's math.

A Cal heavy with 3 Cplx plates gets a 100ehp boost from your proto suggestion. (900/.9=1000, or a 100 increase). That's only marginally above a proto extender.

A Cal scout with 3 Cplx extenders get about a 33ehp bonus (300/.9=333.3), which is below a basic with skills.

I haven figured out what you'd need to actually make these worth it over an extender, but even still they'd only be viable against one damage type whereas extenders are more or less resistant to everything, not to mention they'll have stacking penalties.

The numbers should be larger to make a them worth using, but then you run the risk of them being OP for high ehp suits.

I like it, but two things come to mind.

First, what skill multiplier would the two new skills be?

Second, what would the module fitting costs be? Pretty high, I'd imagine.

i would like to say that armor would need less resistance % or non at all as they can easily BRICK HARD more then shield tankers.. and let us not forget that 1 flux grenade will COMPLETELY wipe out a shield tankers shield.. Hell 1 will wipe out the shield of a damn LAV or HAV(gallente) 2 will just about clear the shield HP of the caldari HAV

Sure, if tanks get their resistance mods back, im all for it.

You do have resistance mods.

I would say the skill needs to level at the same speed as the other tanking modules so: x3



This is something I had not considered... stats version 4.0 incoming...


STD
Armor: 4% damage resist
10 CPU / 3 PG

Shield 5% damage resist
19 CPU / 3 PG

ADV
Armor: 8% damage resist
20 CPU / 7 PG

Shield: 10% damage resist
38 CPU / 6 PG

PRO
Armor: 10% damage resist
40 CPU / 13 PG

Shield: 12% damage resist
57 CPU / 11 PG

Now add the small hp values back on them or buff the actual resistance values.
