Okay, first of all, there are flaw's in this, the disparity between the suits and their rep's, gallente is armor regen, so with this, they'd should naturally without modules be at 8+ reps, secondly amarr and caldari wouldn't have said reps as amarr are tanker's, and caldari are shield tankers/ shield regen, minmatar sounds logical, your proposal to shield regulators half agreed half not, regulators, aren't the issue, it's shield themselves and shield HP value, fact that 1 damage from a gun stops my shield's, and the fact that my shields can't reach the level of armor's on both assault and sentinel level (assault to assault and sentinel to sentinel), I should be dipping in and out of cover, recovering at least some of my shield's back, but that's not how this game play's, yes I can dip in and out, but in those moment's my enemies can close in, and kill me, removing any chance for long range engagement is the fact that all the maps are CQC and the gun's have such (unrealistically) short range, reducing the original developer proposal and use for caldari suit's.

Any buffing and such to armor would only increase the already high displeasure and disparity between armor and shield, armor's don't need a buff, shield's do.
