I'm guessing he got 17 like this
7 + 6.0837 (6.1) + 3.9942 (4.0)
7 + 4 = 11
11 + 6.1 = 17.1 (17)
That's what i see
Rather than rounding at the end only, rounding was done during, and at the end. :D
Without rounding one's answer is 17.0779
In that sense rounding at the end would give 17.1 , not 17.0.
Anyways! Are you trying to say shields should have lower fitting cost than mods? 1 or 2 pg below same CPU?

Well, if you say that, 33 shp is barely anything compared to a 3% mod...
Maaaaybe in higher tiers it's a good idea. But the pg cost might force people to mod over extend (pg hungry/tight fits)
I understand your pov though.
Edit: 1% makes a big difference!! Over a long period of time though ^_~

But, with so much of an advantage gained from damage mods, why would a non-shield user shield tank?
Shield mods give them so little of an advantage (ahp is already > shp) that a dps upgrade/profile upgrade [aka damage mods] is better.
If you think about it, the only way to make it better is two things:
-lower fitting costs (benefits both users, also brings hp/cpu or hp/pg closer together. Lower than damage mods, not as low as plates though.)
-or buff shp to extends to give it more tank, and more hp to live with.
Make them half the hp of each plate grade.
E.G: basic plate (85 ahp) divided by two, rounded to the nearest multiple of 5 (40 shp or 45 shp)
Or
Make it 40 below the basic plate, and go up 17, 16 shp for each grade.
45 basic (49.5 shp @ lvl 5) -> 12 shp buff
62 adv (68.2 shp @ lvl 5) -> 12 shp buff
78 pro (85.8 shp @ lvl 5) -> 12 shp buff
^ how do you guys feel about that? Is it too much? Will this turn more people away from damage mods?

@Shamarskii - I'm not really sure how you came to the conclusion that 'damage mods provide so much of an advantage over shield extenders'. Could you explain a little more, please?
Any, if not all weapons 2 or 1 shot shield extends. A small amount of HP doesn't compare to some damage. In that sense, higher damage output is better since the small amount of hp = about one or two rounds of added shp. Higher damage = higher chance of killing = higher chance of survival.
While damage mods also cost less to fit, the hp gain is really small too.
In the end, unless one is shield tanked (2/3 extends) or a shield suit, damage mods seem to be better.
At complex level it's more equal Nevertheless.
