Agree. There would only be a marginal increase in vehicle effectivity, but will make way for more creative or diverse fittings.

True, but at least it opens some more fittings, like three boosters or three hardeners, or mix and match of two of those with something else.

True but he's acting like OMG shield HAV's can fit what ever they want and have it all complex. Actually, shield HAV's have better fitting capabilities because their tank is in the High so they can use low for other modules. It's not the gunnlogi's fault that fitting modules are on the lows. This is true with damage mods, we gunnlogis aren't very good at fitting scanners, fuel injectors or damage mods. (We are but we give up a lot of tank to fit those modules).

A suggestion that could alter and possible see to fixing this is the return of constant, low, passive shield regen like in the old days. So rather than a 4 second delay with 168 regen/sec a constant regeneration of 34/sec and a return of the old Shield Recharger modules in the low slots could really work wonders for de-incentivising armour tanking on Shield Hulls.

For example-

The only Ward Shield Recharger modified Regen rate by 19% and the old Sagaris HP values was roughly 24/sec.

If this was increased to 34/sec on the new hulls and the Rechargers were altered so that with a PG extender the Gunnlogi could fit one and the Sagaris say 2 @ a static modifier of 20-25%

You are looking at possibly a passive regeneration rate of 40.8 on the Gunnlogi and 47/sec on the Sagaris and still retain EHP values around 9-11K

You maybe, but my standard dropships would become floating fortresses if I had more CPU/PG with all dem slots. That's the only place it would make a huge difference though.

Edit: Actually when I think about it that would probably be awful as standard dropships would be fitted like tanks... not sure if want... so much huey helicopter missile deaths if that happens.
