1st off its not OP I have no trouble wrecking 90% of cal scouts in 1v1s w/ my assault suit
However Rattati seems to think its OP
This does not apply just to the cal scout but to all shield suits in my opinion Shields should give different amounts to lights, mediums and heavies.

So Mediums being the base as it is the middle ground will receive the current number 66
lights 50% 33
Sentinels 150% 99

**KEEP IN MIND THESE ARE DEMONSTRATIONAL NUMBERS**

Further more these modifiers can be altered based on race to discourage brick tanking.

Base stats may have to be altered slightly or perhaps an increased/decreased regen delay based on light/medium/heavy to discourage Cal sents stacking 1100+ shields.

THE PROBLEM IS NOT CAL SCOUTS OR SHIELD TANKING.

The problem is SPEED tanking & low frame rates leading to poor hit detection. Doesn't matter what suit you play it on. Get a fast moving suit (particularly in a low frame rate situation) and see for yourself.

People think it's the cal scout, but it is not. No more than it was with MKB, which was the old forum-myth for the same thing. I can dodge bullets in an Am Scout and even a speed tanked Cal Assault. I've seen others do it with Min Heavies!

Nerf the Cal Scout or shield tankers if you wish, but I'm fairly convinced that's not sure that's what is really going on here....

All of the above said, I've long been a proponent of shield and armor extenders being % based rather than HP based. In other words, a sentinel should get more HP from an armor plate or a shield extender than a scout would. CCP has implemented this balance by the difference in base HP, but a % of base for each module always made more sense as a balancing characteristic for the reasons you laid out.

Exactly, people use the cal scout as the most prominent example because most good cal scouts don't use plates at all and just shields, the fact that the cal scout is the 2nd most used scout means you see a lot on the field. Yes the most used scout is the Gallente and yes they can do the exact same thing but when do you ever come across a Gallente scout which doesn't use 'JUST FERROES/ REACTIVES? Thing is, you don't.

And to those who think the cal scout is OP in the current meta.
Do you even breach AR bro?

I had no idea my standard Caldari Scout with ~380 eHP was in need of nerfing.

Two complex extenders and around 300 shields is unacceptable for a standard-tier Scout suit! I must only be able to fit a maximum ~270 Shields on a standard Caldari Scout!

Yeah. No, thanks.

I'm lucky to be able to fit more than 270 on any Minmatar scout suit.

You guys have no idea how much it sucks to be that low on eHP. Almost every scout in the game EXCEPT the Minmatar can tank a shotgun shell if they run enough eHP (And still be fast).

Min Scout? Hell, I can't even run 3x Shields and Speed without killing my PG.

Cal cant stack more than 929 shield do you even shield tank bro?

With core skills a 99 hp shield extender would give you 125 shields per extender 4 extenders give you 500ish HP + 656 base = 1100 ish

Do you even read bro?

So by doing this you make shields useless on scouts, this should only work unless the same thing applies to armour otherwise it makes armour tanking OP on scouts compared to shield tanks on scouts. Before you say 'but armour is getting the strafe penalty', reactive plates are not getting the penalty or if so barely noticeable and if these numbers go than it means a reactive plate gives more than double the amount of HP as a complex shield extender, half the fitting costs, 3HP/s. This is comparing complex reactives and shields together. Does this sound fair?
