In order for this to happen, shields need to have drawbacks. In EVE, shields increase your scan signature and make it easier for other ships to lock onto you faster. Translating this to Dust would probably mean the former while significantly increasing your hit box until your shields are depleted, in which case will revert back to your suit's respective frame size. Armor is at a severe disadvantage compared to shields also. Not only do they add a movement penalty, but they affect turn speed, jump height, and also rumored to affect fall damage. Buffing shields in your suggested format will only widen the gap between shield and armor to the point that armor tanking will be more of a novelty than it was in Chromosome.

There's nothing wrong with your suggestions, mind you, but some significant changes to shield tanking and armor tanking at their cores need to be addressed for such changes to take place.

Passive shield regen is also a big thing for shield tanks which doesn't work effectively in Dust at the moment.

Here

The increased sig radius of shield extenders is minimal and offset by the added mass from armor plates which reduces top speed and turning slightly.

Armor IS more stable and in Eve a common Armor fit will have 1 rep running at all times with a second for "burst" repping if it's needed. Shield tanks only use 1 booster which reps more per cycle and much quicker. This is offset with the massive capacitor usage from shield boosters so it is not sustainable but very effective to deal with massive amounts of damage for a short time.

Passive shield tanking has NO booster at all and relies on resistance with passive shield regen. The passive shield regen system in Dust is not the same as Eve. Details on this in the above link.

The entire vehicle and AV system needs an overhaul. Getting flux'd in a gunnlogi then taken out by a group of TacAR's is a little weird. Yes I sat there and let it happen cause I wanted to see how effective their plan was. It was shockingly effective and went through 1250 armor HP in a matter of seconds...Neat.

ok so just so its clear the amount restored listed is per second of the pulse and the interval listed is the length of the pulse. the time between pulse are as such 3second for shield and 1 second for armor. shields pulse last 1 second and then cycle off for 3 second before the next one second pulse while armor pulse is 3 seconds long with a 1 second cycle timer between pulses. so with this the light armor repairer restores a similar amount of HP as a heavy booster for the similar rate(less burst).

Do you know shield tanks can take WAY harder hits from AV, Forge, and swarm?

-20% damage AV damage and Swarm just for being shields. (not sure on forge)
+20% damage AV damage and Swarm for being armor. (not sure on forge)

Shields have less PG so no blaster. If they do have a ADV blaster they know how to tank proper.

I say shield tanks Hardeners do need to be longer by an extra 6-10 seconds and a cool down of 15 seconds total.

Forgot to say your Large Missile do a +20% to armor tanks. QQ to make shield tanks OP.

hm.. where oh where are the blue tags on this, it has been an issue for enough.
