Complex Reactive plates
45 HP
2 HP/s
4% movement penalty
36 CPU
16 PG
Complex Ferroscale plates
60HP
39 CPU
14 PG
Gallente Logistics (Ferro build)
EHP 819 (Cannot stack 5 plates because of the massive CPU/PG)
Speed 4.7
CPU 318/512
PG 89/102
Shield HP/s 15
Armor HP/s 5
This build cannot equip a gun over ADV
So optimal EHP is 819 if you DONT plan on using logi tools, or armor repairers. If you do prepare for a 100-150 EHP loss and a speed penalty.
Caldari Logistics (Ferro build)
EHP 989
Speed 4.7
CPU 427/512
PG 101/102
Shield HP/s 20
Armor HP/s 5
This build has a lot of wiggle room even with CPU/PG constraints and can get a armor repair rate of 17.5 without going under 900 EHP, basically the Caldari are better at being Gallentes.
Gallente Assault (Ferro build)
EHP 828
Speed 5.0
CPU 309/394
PG 78/79
Shield HP/s 20
Armor HP/s 0
Cannot equip anything but a ADV AR, no grenades, no side arm, no equipment, and it has 1 free slot because of how penalizing the CPU/PG is.
Caldari Assault (Ferro build)
EHP 835
Speed 5.0
CPU 334/394
PG 76/79
Shield HP/s 31.25
Armor HP/s 0
Since he depends more in shields than armor he has the advantage over the Gallente when actively staying in battle, even though the EHP is actually balanced.
I did the reactive plates and they are utter garbage, so garbage that it is MORE efficient to use a basic armor plate and a complex repairer.
My conclusion: New armor plates bring more negatives that our current plates; the fact that reactives come with a movement penalty completely throws them out of being useful and the CPU/PG requirements are so terrible that they provide no benefit to the Caldari or Gallente, in fact they use so much resources that they LIMIT gameplay for both races.
Reactive and Ferroscale plates need to be the same, or under, in CPU/PG compared to our current plates. The armor values need to be higher, although testing them reveals that the current values aren't so bad BUT the repair rate for Reactive needs to be 1/2/3 not 1/1/2 whose idea was that? The IDEA behind these plates should be, Armor plates for people who want to be bullet walls or can sacrifice the speed i.e heavies, scouts, and the Minmatar, Reactive for Armor tanks who want to be actively stay in combat and keep up with the Caldari and Minmatar with this garbage you just widened the gap, Ferroscale for people who prefer HIGH HP to HP/s but do not want a penalty.
