So, despite 90% of the community here, coming here believing that this is gonna be some other guy crying about the game, sorry guys for the misleading title.

Now what is laughable, you might ask? Some many months ago, a lot of shield players (95% caldari I'm sure) had been asking for a buff to their suits, to their modules, and overall better gameplay balancing so that they can get in and cap objectives just like armor players can. These request threads were coming out the wood work's non-stop, until afterward's a lot of us just pretty much gave up, CCP never gave us ANY confirmation's, no reassurance's, literally about a month after, we decided to give up.

Now the CPM 2 is around and there hasn't been so much as ONE single thread about any shield buff requests, I find that, hilarious at best. We constantly asked, but nothing got done, now the CPM 2 has been chosen, and not a SINGLE thread on the dust forums have been seen regarding shield tech (albeit I'm sure that many of us decided to E-mail the CPM 2).

Now, by no mean's is this an actual complaint and take what you've read (so far) with a grain of salt, I've actually just started using, a basic mennon fit, with a gek and flaylock, with a bunch of armor mod's, and even I can say that, I've gotten 60% better scores with an armor fit, than I have with a shield fit, I mean I'm getting 200k isk per game, with a score of like 12 +/- 4, in terms of scores.

So, pretty much, I never thought I would, BUT I am praising everything Gallente being better than Caldari all round, I can kill players at 50+ meters no prob, even against RR 80% of the time I actually come out on top, the tanking is better, if I need hp I can just drop a compact hive, and get back to the fight quickly, honestly speaking, with an armor amount of 817, I just can't lose.

Only thing I ever die to? Mass driver, HMG, shotgun, and rarely but occasionally scouts with Nova knives, also scrambler rifles, and extremely rarely, any RR variant. I've killed RR user's more than they've killed me, and THEY had the opening in the gun fight, I essentially finished the gun fight.

End. (Once more, take what you've read with a grain of salt, this is just my experience's, both in-game, and forum wise, all compiled into 1 thread)
