In order for them to even be remotely useful they need to have a decent bonus, or the only frames using them will be heavys. If the bonus is high enough for med frames to use them, then heavys will be OP if they stack plates. Regardless of stack penalty as that will be negated as higher and higher percentages stack on top of one another. Gal sent has base 1143 hp. Add even 60% on top of that with stacked mods and you have sentinels with >2000hp. Talk about brick tank. Add the skill bonuses and they won't ever go down. Percentage mods are a different beast as they can easily overcome the stacking penalty on heavy frames. Honestly they need % based armor and shield mods as well as absolute. The heavy frames can utilize the %based far better while the lighter frames can use the absolute mods. That would give CCP much more balancing power. PHI Recruitment or PHIsh Tank in game Youtube

Only to people who like abusing low hp suits to be out of their class. Ummmm...no. I'm not sure why so many scouts have a problem with it, but I think the assult scout is an entirely viable playstyle. While most of my fits have between 200 and 300 EHP, I also have a number of 'tanked' fits for assault work that range from 400-550 EHP. Because sometimes that's what I need. I'm still a low HP suit, just not 'look in my direction and I die' low. % increase on select modules while retaining a straight bonus on other modules increases options, while making all modules % based decreases options. The loss of diversity is a bad thing. To elucidate, have some maths. Using current armor modules and the GAL scout and sentinel suits to compare. GAL scout base armor: 162.5 (1301.25) low slots: 4 theoretical max: 756.5 (162.5+4(1351.1)) increase: 465.5% GAL sentinel base armor: 656.25 (5251.25) low slots: 4 theoretical max: 1250.25 (656.25+4(1351.1)) increase: 190.5% In this situation, the GAL scout goes from having 1/4 the HP of a heavy, to having 6/10 of the HP of a heavy. I think most people could reaonsably agree that 750HP before including shields (232.7 stacking complex extenders) may be excessive on a light suit. Now, using % increase module only (and modules giving a 20% increase on base total only to keep it roughly in line with the current heavy increase, and no stacking penalty or skill bonus). GAL scout base armor: 162.5 (1301.25) low slots: 4 theoretical max: 292.5 (162.5+4(162.50.2)) increase: 180% GAL sentinel base armor: 656.25 (5251.25) low slots: 4 theoretical max: 1181.25 (656.25+4(656.250.2)) increase: 180% In this case, the scout remains at 1/4 the health of the heavy. As you can see, putting armor modules on a scout at all becomes completely useless, regardless of the type of module. Not only does this remove what is a reaononable playstyle through over-nerfing assault scouts, it additional removes the purpose for any other scout to fit armor at all. A 32.5 HP increase is not worth the fitting costs and speed decrease for a complex module, while fitting any lower tier module results in effectively no increase. Thus reducing fitting diversity for the class as a whole in the attempt to try and balance a single fit type. Now, on the other hand, have a look at a situation where fero and reactive plates retain their straight bonus, while the plate module gains the % bonus. Example just using complex ferro to maximise HP. GAL scout base armor: 162.5 (1301.25) low slots: 4 theoretical max: 492.5 (162.5+4(751.1)) increase: 300% GAL sentinel base armor: 656.25 (5251.25) low slots: 4 theoretical max: 1181.25 (656.25+4(656.250.2)) increase: 180% While there is still a significant jump in the EHP of the scout, and it's worthwhile to fit armor, the change is no where near as significant. The GAL scout goes form 1/4 the HP of the heavy, to having 4/10. This reduces the ability of the scout to hard tank, while not removing the ability entirely, and additionally makes fitting alternate plate modules (ferro or reactive) worthwhile, which currently are next to useless. Scouts can still play as assault, but they will be properly light assault. This would seem to me to be a more even handed solution, which does not disadvantage all scouts for the sake of a few. the numbers on the ferro and reactive plates may need to be reconsidered, but leaving them as a straight bonus makes them useful to lower HP suits, while high HP suits can still properly tank by making use of % based armor plate modules. In effect, create a middle ground instead of pushing suits to extremes. Hopefully that explains my position more fully. And just as an addendum, I deliberately didn't compare the Assault/Medium suits in this post. Due to their relatively low starting numbers, they are inherently unbalanced against light suits when it comes to HP. Using the above maths and the current armor plate modules, a GAL scout can reach 9/10 of the HP of the GAL assault. There is limited reason to run the GAL assault as it stands, and a change to % modules will harm them in exactly the same way as the scouts, as their base HP are close enough to the scout to make almost no difference. Knowledge is power
Matticus Monk Ordus Trismegistus 1602	Posted - 2014.04.09 00:46:00 - [12988] - Quote ^^ Excellent post. I'd love to see something like this - % base for armor modules, with ferro/reactive retaining straight up armor HP boosts. Double posting like a Kaiser.
