You get for FREE the regen that would require THREE COMPLEX armor repairers for me to achieve.
If it's a Cal Scout, then it's FIVE.
You really expect your shields to have no delay?

As far as the SCR, unless your brick the hell out on armor, something that is unadvisable, the SCR wrecks armor tankers pretty hard too.
It's a dangerous weapon regardless of the target.
I'm honestly more afraid of it than some anti armor weaponry.

^ this is why we changed it to Caldari only other than scout.. Dual tanking should only be a thing for Min. Also all the other races can have the same ehp as caldari but with 2-3 DMG mods.

We're fine with delay but why the hell should 1 DMG make us start our regen completely over? Maybe make armor the same way then you guys will understand that it's not fine.

Cat..... Bro.... I love you and all but your only argument can't be grenades, I can take my 700shields 900ehp proto caldari suit and a grenade will still ohk me.. Your death may hurt more then mine and may be a few miliseconds quicker but we both are still dead...

Edit: I understand your argument was to Flux grenades but I don't think anyone besides that guy minds Flux nades especially if Caldari can get the proper buffs/tweaks they need..

Honestly I think one of the best changes they could do that wouldn't break balance and simultaneously increase TTK is toning down the spectrum of all the damage profiles. Bring everything closer to the middle so that certain profiles give a slight advantage without completely destrominating X-based tankers.

What I mean:

Laser - +10 / -10
Explosive - -10 / +10
Projectile - -7.5 / +7.5
Rail - -5 / +5
Plasma - +5 / -5

This change would balance out weapons quite a bit making certain weapons not completely useless when encountering the opposite type of tank and also increase TTK. It would increase TTK because your Proficiency skills wouldn't provide as large of a bonus to their respective damage type because of the reduced percentages.

For example, right now with Prof. V a Laser weapon has 138% efficiency versus shield and 80% versus armor. With the changed profiles, it would 126% shield / 90% armor. A 12% nerf to shield damage for a 10% buff to armor damage. The same principle would apply to everything else.

I just think that because of the current meta of brick-tanking and Sentinel spam that certain weapons just become completely useless in certain scenarios. You don't want to be caught against a Armor-tanked heavy with an ScR or AR or you're dead. Vice versa, you don't want to be caught as a Shield suit against those weapons while things like the Mass Driver just do joke damage against you.

Sarcasm detected. Perhaps it's because I gave an indecent amount of explanation behind my reasoning. I hope the post above satisfied.

You shoud'nt be shocked. What you going to look at my likes or my character and say "oh he's new"? Do I have to give you all my character names i've biomassed since 2013? no I don't, just so it can satisfy some vet complex?

Is this an alt of yours? Or are you crying for someone?

Your thoughts?

The unfair damage to shield bit is lol-worthy. There are more anti-armor weapons out there then there are anti-shields, plus, the anti-armor ones are the two that are considered OP by those that hold grudges for when they first released: the Combat and Rail Rifle.

As for the amount of shields that could be extended, I'd say they give a pretty decent amount of HP. They're like Ferros, but with a slight penalty that means nothing for the Caldari.

As a Caldari Assault payer, the penalty is certainly not "nothing." Those extra seconds count when fighting halfway decent players. I would say shields are almost balanced, but armor is a bit better in terms of overall combat. At range (which is shields primary advantage) it's far too easy to overwhelm any shield suit before they get to recover. Shields should not stop repping if a bullet that does 1 HP hits.

I said nothing because if you use regulators, you still manage a net gain out of it. Besides, 3 CPX Regulators is awesome! So awesome, in fact, that it makes the penalty mean nothing. All this is my opinion, of course, so whatever. I do agree that taking 1 damage stopping your shield regen is bull, though. Perhaps it should work by a threshold. If you do more damage than, say 50% of your regen rate, then it disables it. If less, your regen continues as if nothing happened.

Complex shield extenders should give 85HP (passive not included). Let's compare them with ferros:
-Ferros: 23CPU/8PG, 75HP, no disadvantages.
-Extenders: 54CPU/11PG, 66HP, +7% depleted delay.

For their cost in PG/CPU and their drawback, they should get this buff^^

I'm sure for many of you caldari type that answer has been yes for a long time. I would also like to add that of all the weapons in game they tend to do an unfair amount of damage to shields. Your thoughts?

When they have damage mods and a decent ranged weapon, even if I use cover they have a massive advantage. I do use all regulators in my lows, but you absolutely NEED someone else covering you while you regen.

Ferros don't self rep so no.
