The concept is simple, this mode will sacrifice a portion of it's repair value (i.e. it will restore armor hp more slowly) at every level than it's current standard counterpart. In exchange for this reduction it would also grant a mitigation effect to the weight/speed penalty applied by any armor plates employed in the fitting.
Note: I have intentionally omitted any use of specific numbers, CCP can define those values based on what's balanced.
I believe more diversity within Dust creates a more rich and enjoyable play experience as such new gear would be an asset.
Are there other Mercs out there who'd fit a mod like this? 
Cheers,

I'd assumed they were referencing the new bonuses on the dropsuits (which this was actually inspired by  )
Do you perchance have a link wherein they provide any more details regarding the shield/armor developments in Uprising?
Either way thanks for posting

Right now unless you have complex reps (and even then it takes multiple) it takes ages to repair your armour. If this was reduced much then people would have even more reason to go shield.
It's not meant as a change but rather as an addition. You could run both types of mod at the same time if desired, us only the current type for more regen or only the suggested type primarily for buffer.
In any event the goal is not to change the current repair mod it is to add an entirely new type of mod in an attempt to diversify player build options.
Thanks for posting

Yeah I saw the fanfest stream which granted does a lot of the same things on balance as this suggestion, but I still think it would be a cool addition. In either even good looking out on the info
