Imbalance: Shield vs. Armor
-One variant of shield extenders. Three variants of armor plates.
- Amarr and Gallente assault can stack plates and reach over 1000 Hp Caldari can only get up to about 700 sheild with fully stacked shield extenders.
- Armor can be repaired shields cannot.
- Delay on shield recharge but not even a of a delay on armor repairs.
-Complex shield extenders give you 60 Hp, a feroscale armor plate can give you 75 armor with no movement penalty making it more useful then a shield extender. Not only that but then you have your normal armor plates that can give 100 + Hp when an extender can never give you that much Hp.
- Current buff to Scrambler Rifle and Breach AR have almost made shield obsolete.
- For Caldari assaults a logi repairing him while he's getting shot is not much help seeing we have little armor and of course there is no shield reppers made for logis. But if you are a Gallente or Amarr you can easily get over 1000 Hp and a logi on you and you would be almost invincible.
- Not only a problem with dropsuits either, also with vehicles. A Python, Myron, or Viper can easily be taken out of the sky by a simple ram of an Incubus, Gorgon, or Grimmes. Not only that but the armor dropship can survive the impact while the shield dropship plummets straight to the ground.
- You can easily accidentally smack into a wall with armor dropships and maintain control and survive. If in a shield dropship, you could barely even scrape something and your dropship would get destructed.
Really hope other people have noticed how much imbalance there is with shield vs. armor. Especially right now with all the buffed shield based weaponry running around, just something to consider balancing a little better then all these flaws in shield. |

Most people do stack armor plates, not necassarily saying armor vehicles are better then shield. Armor vehicles have unfair advantages over shield vehicles. Seeing that a Madrugar can ram a Gunlogi when the Gunlogis in armor and can kill it off simply ramming it and survives the ram too. And the Incubus can simply just tap my Python and I fall out of the sky while he is still free to fly and little no damage taken from tapping my dropship. If you think thats fair you're simply just as broken as this game |

Depending how you fit your suit it will recharge fast but a simple stray bullet can hit you and you're forced to go into the delay time and wait while with armor you get small reps but every second with no delay even if you're hit you're repping damage away which shields cannot |
