Every time I come back, shields seem to less and less effective. What the kitten CCP? For Caldari this is how we survive. It seems every kind of weapon tears down my shields nowadays. Is anybody else seeing this matter the same?

I don't know where you guys are coming up with this regen thing. It doesn't matter how much regen you have, if you have less than five seconds behind cover. Which is usually the case. TTK is so much shorter than it used to be, and the fighting style is a lot more like CoD or other popular shooters. This is what made DUST so great. It was about gun game. Now it's a lot more about who starts shooting first

The worst Assault in my opinion is the Caldari
The worst Logi is Caldari
The worst sent is Caldari
Our scout is actually half decent.
Our Commando is forced into sniping, which really pisses me off.

One theory is that favours the Gallente, this is often fought with the claim he is Caldari on the forums. (Gallente in game)
Another is that there are a large amount of armour tankers wishing to keep armour dominant.

I won't share my opinions on those, just state they exist.
As said before Shields are hardmode, period.

Rattati is an armor player, thus all the shield nerfs and claims of ' shield and armor balance

Perhaps you should try a different approach? Caldari are far superior when it comes to ranged combat, if you set your shields right and your regen/regulators, then you can smite from 60+ meters with the RR. Pop back when you get shot, 3 seconds later your good, Galente's don't stand a chance against that.

Even up close, it's like the bolt pistol. If your aim and control/timing is good, you'll mess 'em up real quick. It may be hardmode, but I find it pays off a lot if you get good at it, it has more potential then some other suits and races ;)
