Agreed, they are different. The fact that there are more anti-shield weapons, and that shield mods take high slots is a balancing factor as well. I see a bunch of number comparrisons but not utility considerations in the whole scheme of things. |

So no talk of armor repair tools or armor repairing nanohives here? Shields don't have this kind of support from what I've seen. Did anyone ever think this is part of the whole concept of armor support and logistics. |

All of that is true, but an armor fit team can fit more damage mods, has a higher overall repair rate and effective HP pool, with the main downside being less mobility. |

Which frankly would be more appealing in a game mode where you're tasked with the defence or seizure of a single focused objective. In Skirmish 2.0 it doesn't have as much of a place.
I was just trying to portray that armor is most effective when run as a group, where shields benefit most on the individual level. Which is why the outright comparrison of 2 modules doesn't add up because their restoration systems work differently. Armor is slower, more static, but in theory creates a strong defense. Shields promote solo movement, speed, and non reliance at the expense of group hardness and fire power.
I'm not saying the numbers are perfect, but you can't compare an armor fit next to a shield fit without looking at other aspects. |
