Now that shields will be on par with armor,(apparently) we need to address the issues with brick tanking. As it stands the shield users get the full benefit of both armor and shield modules, and armor users get the full benefit of extenders. Barring the armor tank and extenders the same can be said about tanks.
There needs to be a nerf on both fronts in order to achieve balance, armor suits should get a penalty for tanking shields, and shield suits should get a penalty to using armor modules. (Or, if we want to stray from the path of eve, armor suits need to be buffed to use shield modules effectively, but everyone hates brick tanking right?)
I believe the penalty should make it so if a shield user uses an armor module it has to sacrifice 1-2 shield modules to do so, and vice-versa with the armor players in the form of cpu/pg penalties. As well as an effectiveness penalty, the lore reason could be that "because x amount of armor plates/reps are being used on the cal suit the shield generator is being disrupted, and their resistance to projectile and explosive damage is reduced." As well as "because the gallente suit is using extenders the suit's armor is being eroded from the disturbance in the suits outer-layer thus causing a reduction to their armor plate's value(or I thought it would be cool if it caused constant damage to the armor suit's armor but armor rep modules would make the penalty moot )
Of course regulators, and rechargers/energizers would be excluded because of their percentage based value which balances the uses between shield and armor suits quite nicely.

Apparently, indeed. People will just switch their armor plates to ferroscales and reactives.
