Unless there's a massive overhaul in racial bonuses and stats, I fear OP may have a point.

Ohh look someone who still cares and will still be playing this game.
Rare breed you are.

I think you're onto something. Gallente and Amarr suits need a bonus to %Armor regen and/or efficiency.

Armour deserves a module for high slots to increase its effectiveness. Perhaps a passive damage resistance module, or maybe even moving the armour reppers into the high slots.

So after acknowledging that armor and shields were imbalanced after reading a 16 page post you guys haven't learned jack squat. Did you know that the only way for armor and shields to be balanced was for it to be possible for armor suits to stack reactive plates without a penalty? Did you know that because armor has no passive regen and since reppers take low slot we willalways be inferior? No you didn't. When those plates come out are tou aware at how far stronger shield tankers will be by stacking ferroplates? No you didn't. Im not even going to waste my time adding up numbers to show how idiotic this balance is. Enjoy this build my fellow Gallente and Amarr, its only going to get worse.

IKR! I'd like to know who thought Amarr should have equal shields and armor...

I think you're overreacting (dat pun).


Shield tankers are starting to hit a very clear line where the CPU/PG requirements of modules are relevant determining factors, even with skills. The proliferation of logistics suits as an acceptable fulfillment of the assault role have made that less apparent as of late, but to put it into perspective, here's what a standard high-level shield tanker typically "needs":

(1) 3-4 shield extenders in high slots
(2) 2-3 pieces of equipment. Even stable equipment counts
(3) At least 1 armor repper
(4) Proto grenades
(5) Proto sidearm (?)


The PG/CPU starts to count up, and the low slots are the ones that support CPU/PG extenders as well.

Ahem,

As it stands now the bonusing system that determines how and what effect each other is bare bones. That is why none of the logi-suits have bonuses that affect equipment as you think they would.

This is getting fixed so hopefully gallente can be more gallente and amarr be more amarr ect ect.

ETA on this will be ongoing however.

Anyone using a sheild recharger is doing it wrong.

It's all about dem regulators, son. And also about them Ferroscale plates. Like, I used to have a hard time deciding what to put in the low slot after I piled shield extenders in the high, a rep, and a regulator, but now I have my answer...

The more I see what they have in mind for this game the more I thin that maybe Mintchip is the answer we're all looking for.

Save us Mintchip, *Bzzzt* you're our only hope.

A recharger AND a regulator is pretty nice. Just throwing that out there. IMO anyone NOT using a recharger is doing it wrong... unless you wanna wait a few weeks for your shields to actually finish recharging.

Only suits that have a passive armor regen is Minmatar. Also, Minmatar should be the ones that equal shield and armor. IMHO, Minmatar and Amarr should swap shield, armor and passive armor regen numbers and THEN it would look about right... One reason why I use Minnie suits lol. It has saved my ass MANY times!

The logistics role bonus is +1 Armor repair per level. That is regardless of race.

This looks like the right place to ask my question

Why do the galente assault suit skill have a bonus to sheild regen?
