Quite.
This is only one part of the problem, though. It'd be nice to see CCP realise that the solution is not just chucking on new (and bad) modules.

Yes, they'd be useful for the currently superior tank. However, then you look at the other end, armour, where you have people with 450 HP and 12/13 HP/s.
-only- 20 HP/s regen is nearly twice as much as a pair of complex repairers can regen. Buffing that significantly would make armour repairers completely laughable in comparison to shield regen.

Yes. You pretty much provided the solution.

A) Increase plating HP across the board.
B) Balance plating movement penalties.
C) Increase armor repairer rep amount, while causing it to diminish over time
D) Give Gallente (and Amarr?) dropsuits appropriate specs and bonuses
E) Overhaul these new plates

I would add

F) Move Armor Repairers to high slots

Pretty much, tho I'm of the opinion that "F" should be "put Reactive Plates in high slots", but it seems I may be in the minority with regards to this.

I would much rather see reactive plates in high slots than armor repairers in low slots.
Frankly, though, either would make armour far, far stronger.

At fanfest they said they'd reduce overall shield HP in favour of increasing regen. Somewhat like flux coils in EvE - which nobody uses, incidentally.

Armor repairers are already in low slots. Typo?

Lets be fair here, eve shields are vastly different things. The reason flux coils don't work is because shield regen is tied to a timer, not a set amount. What I'm trying to say spaceship shields go from zero to full in five minutes(for example), the more potential shields you have the more points you get per second. So if you're looking for high per second regen you have two options, less shields with a flux or more shields with about anything else. While mercenary shields receive a set amount of points per cycle.
I don't feel I've explained this well so I'm sorry. I'll try to answer any questions best as possible.

There's a rumour going around that flux coils will only affect base shield HP and not the HP given by extenders.
This would be quite bad. I'm going to see if I can get confirmation.

That would be in keeping with the Shield Upgrades bonus. I bet that's the case.

any idea on the stats of the armor modules?

I meant if they made any changes to those stats

I would also like to point out (if you missed it I'm not sure) that the CPU enhancers take no CPU/PG to fit while PG enhancer modules take a nice but of CPU.

P.S. CCP will forever favor Caldari/Shields.

Shields don't rust

Kudos on the thread

I think it will be a bad idea for armor repairs to be in a high slot cause that will hurt armarr dual tanking abilities cause then they have to choose between extenders or armor repair which will make them worse then gallente and caldari.
Reactive plates in the highs are better so Gallente can easily buff there total armor and regeneration.

The Amarr dropsuits aren't particularly well done right now.
