anyone seen the shield bubbles in the new star wars battlefront? what if cal logis could make shield bubbles around themselves like that? they cant move or anything, but they block all shots.

Don't know why, but EVE related non-sense mean's that cal ships get a damage reduction right? And not just from 1 single type, but an actual defensive bonus from all source's correct? (If I'm wrong let me know, I don't play EVE), I know the type's of comment's I might get, but why hasn't that become a thing?

Ok what they aren't telling you is it's the Tech 2 ships that get the bonuses vs. direct enemy weapons.

the base hulls of each class of ship provide no bonuses except armor resists EM at 50%, thermal at 25 or 35%, Kinetic at 25 or 35% (both kinetic and thermal resists are identical) and explosive at 0%.

Shields are literally the opposite.

The tech 2 hulls give resistances based on their FW chosen enemy's "primary" types of damage.

Amarr resist Explosive and kinetic (higher Explosive resist)
Minmatar resist EM/Thermal (Higher EM resist)
Gallente resist Kinetic and thermal (Higher vs. kinetic)
Caldari resist Kinetic and thermal (Higher Vs. Thermal)

Past that you have only the resists given by active or passive hardeners.

When there is light, shadow's lurk and fear reign's... Yet by the blade of knight's, mankind, was given hope.

So long as they pop is all that matters. the LAV would still take regular damage? the only thing that this would do is keep the turret operator a bit safer from enemy fire And Like I said, I don't care, so long as they pop, it's all the same to me, so long as swarm's, AV nade's, and RE's, doesn't matter what they do to LAV's, so long as those still kill em, all that matter's.

So that being said, can't we mix around with some of those, give it to suit's that need them? Like seriously, even a small bonus of 15% for Gal (Projectile) and 20% for Caldari (Laser) would help out very much. The defensive Bonus' don't have to be huge, just enough that it'll let us survive more than a single shot from a laser shot, and more than 1 shot from an Assault HMG.

The minmatar, however... And the gallente don't clash (except culturally) with the minmatar. the logic runs: "why should we make stuff to kill and resist people who are our allies/not interested in murdering us? And what has that logic done for our forefather's in the past? Despite being smart, we're really dumb in the future, aren't we? Never simply considered, "what if's", it's paranoia that's kept many of us alive today. When there is light, shadow's lurk and fear reign's... Yet by the blade of knight's, mankind, was given hope.
