I don't think I could fit a suit with that =ƒÿü unless you increase our pg and CPU by a lot.

In EVE for the most part the most you will ever fit in shields and armor is usually one, maybe two HP increasing modules, some ships can tank a crap ton of mods but for the most part one or two is enough, sometimes even none. The rest of your slots being used for utility and resistances.

So what if...

All shield suits gained +165 shield hp

Shield extenders had their hp tripled, fitting costs quadrupled, and penalties tripled.

And all armor suits gained + 225 armor hp

And all armor mods got their hp tripled, fitting costs quadrupled,and penalties tripled.

The idea behind this is to focus less on tank and more on optimizing your tank with supporting modules, EWAR, utility mods etc, and you could run perfectly viable fits without using any hp mods at all.

Don't give scouts the HP increase.

I like this idea as the TTK remains the same, but fittings are able to be far more diverse while remaning competitive. Though with only having to fit 1-2 Extenders my MinAssault will do everything. :3

Speed Tank, Regen, Hacks, eWAR, Melee, you name it...

Such a change would require quite the comprehensive change tbh.

To compare, 5 shield extenders gives 363 HP.

This idea would give shields with a shield extender 382.8 hp.

And all armor suits gained + 225 armor hp

And all armor mods got their hp tripled, fitting costs quadrupled,and penalties tripled.

To compare the average armor hp per module is 91.6, so average hp of 5 armor mods is 458.3.

This idea would give an armor suit with a armor mod 499.8 hp.

There is a small net gain of hp, like 20+ up but in a more compact form and slightly more fitting intensive so you will require using cpu/pg mods in some cases, with the crippling penalties overreacting would be stupid.

It would make more sense to add stacking penalty to hp armour mods. Wouldn't work the same for shields without more diverse choices.

Nope! Because now you need to use PG and CPU mods which you can actually use since you don't need to stack a billion hp,mods! Also stacking one these is like stacking 3 hp mods for the price of 4 should be viable somewhat.

How about we keep it as it is and it seems to be working fine.

Heres my proposition:
These are new modules in addition to the hp modules we currently have.
These new, high HP modules will be called Efficient Shield Extender/ Efficient Armor Plate

The standard Efficient Shield Extender module will have 3x basic shield extender hp and use the same fitting as 2 complex shield extenders, and will have the quadruple penalty.

so, it will give 99 HP, and use 24* pg

The Advanced Efficient Shield Extender Will have triple the HP of an advanced shield extender, and use triple Complex shield extender fitting (36pg). and quadruple penalti

so it will give 150 HP and use 48 PG

The Complex Efficient Shield Extender will have triple the hp of a complex shield extender, and cost four times the cost of a complex shield extender. (48 PG)

So it will give 198 HP and use 60 PG

no. simply, no.

a) fitting costs. nobody will be able to fit the complex items except logis. Logis would be able to mega-tank and prety much be a sentinel.
b) fitting costs. it would kill cal commandos, and minmatar scouts.
c)triple penalties. Simply put. your shields wouldn't recharge for half the game.if you're supposed to 'fit mods' in the low slots as you so graciously put it, there is no room for shield energisers, or any other shield mod.

i like this, as it allows for diversification. right now, the only pure shield suit i run with regulators and energizers is my prot callogi. i run 3 complex extenders, 2 enhanced energizers, and 3 enhanced regulators. If this idea is implemented, i could use a similar setup on my advanced suits, without being completely gimped in terms of HP. the question is, how would this work with scouts? would they get the same hp bonus?

Also, as some people complain about shields not having a downside, how about giving them a increased profile when using extenders. maybe you could keep the current extenders in the game, so that shield scouts have a way to increase HP without such a large penalty, in the same way that armour scouts have ferroscale plates to reduce the weight reduction.
