An instant shield booster would be a great buff to caldaris without beeing OP because of their lower HP and them not having shield rep tools.
Could be easily implemented in the low slots (add these to reg's stats and limit the amount of reg to 1 per suit just like myos). They already have the code to activate modules on tank, and it's basically the same thing here !

I just had a better idea than my previous one IMO:
Let's create a new variant of shield rechargers so no need of more SP to have it.
This shield recharger would have a 30 sec delay (no matter if it's basic or proto) and would automatically give 250/350/500 shield back (according to its tier) when your shield is depleted. The passive bonus of recharger would apply to bring these numbers a little higher.
So you could chose between faster recharge overtime, or a slow regen with a big tic available every 30 sec whenever your shield is depleted.
A good solution for duels, but maybe not that good for a hit and run slayer gameplay who gets hit constantly.
If you want both fast regen and instant regen, you'll have to sacrifice 2 highs which means less HP or damage.
Thoughts?

I mean if it goes off when your shields deplete, that basically increases your total shield HP by whatever that boosted amount is right? Granted its not 'always on' like a shield extender but I do have some concerns in terms of balance.
And what if it reduces the regen by say 10/20/30% ? It'll be like using your regen all at once but then.. well.. you're screwed !
A lot can happen in 30 seconds of battle so I don't think this would OP. Look at vehicle shield boosters, they do exactly the same thing and are not OP ^^

Well that's another problem.. The instant shield recharger I'm talking about would be instant and unstoppable or it would be useless.
It would really go alongside the shield mentality and would bring a nice concept to the shield vs armor meta.

It would really go alongside the shield mentality and would bring a nice concept to the shield vs armor meta. You'd need to manipulate the threshold for the modules duration. Either with a temporary damage reduction or a temporarily raising the damage threshold so that the amount of damage taken during the modules duration is less that the damage threshold
Yeah that's what I was thinking about actually ^^ Whenever the instant shield activates, the treshold is brought to like 500 so nothing (or almost nothing) can stop it. It only last .5 sec or less so the instant shield have the time to activate ^^
OR
Getting shot make you lose HP but you still recharge through the shots. This is way better IMO.
