Shield tanking.
No really, I'm serious, slap a complex shield extender on your Gallente suit.
It's a huge quality of life improvement, I die far less often thanks to it.
It will do you wonders, trust me.

I don't get one shotted from explosives anymore, which gives me that little chance to fight back.

Sadly, it's very SP intensive, as you need to max out both shields and armor :\

And vice versa put an armor plate on the caldari suit. It's great to be able to have that armor back you up in between shield recharging.

I don't jump much or worry about running a lot versus shooting from behind cover so it's great!

Really, CCP is trying to apply the mechanics from EVE and it just don't work the same as ships orbiting one another in space.

I'd rather have the dropsuits made out of varying materials that have natural resistances rather than do the whole shield vs. armor thing.

Make all suits some type of armored material only it varies for race.

Just have caldari suits hold up better against explosive versus EM instead of doing the whole shields then armor points.

You get hit by EM weapon in caldari you die. You get hit by explosive in galente you die.

You want to better resist that damage you get specific passive resist mods or an active general resist mod or something like that.

You don't actually have to put all that much SP into it, relitively. You only need shield upgrades 1 an extenders 5. If you skill shield upgrades to 5 you don't get much out of it = assault/30 HP and logi/22 HP. There are much better things to invest in, unless you've already maxed your build. Also you really don't need to be concerned with the other shield skills. Unless, once again you just have a bunch of SP burning a hole in your screen.

I have actually skilled into regulators and regenerators in order to create a fast slayer type build with my Gal logi. I actually like this build quite a bit:

Comp energizer
2x comp shield extender

2x comp ken cat
Comp cardiac regulator
2x comp shield regulator

Pro AR

Locust grenade

2x compact nano
Repair tool
Comp Nanite injector (Aur varient)

This build is very fun to play with and, by the numbers is only VERY slightly less effective than the Caldari assault using the same build philosophy, but of course the Cal assault does not get the bonus of being able to carry all of that equipment though.

I do this, but I like to save pg by using some damage mods. It sucks thought because flux grenades kill armor again even for installations. There is nothing beneficial about using armor now over shields besides having more armor for logi's to ignore.

I've never had my armor damaged by a flux. At least not that I know of, and I pay quite close attention.

With your idea, what do you think, if for example, since Gallente and Minmattar are "Allies", what if Minmy's weaponry could affect the materials of Gallentean armours differently than Caldarians do, and have the actual effectiveness on Amarrians.

That'll would make some suits and weapons, a little op, but in exchange, have a drawback. For example: if you're in your Gallentean suit, and you are being shot by an Flaylock pistol, then You'll lose accuracy and you'll be pushed on the opposite direction from the explosive source.

The idea of this, will suck and be damn OP if someone listen to what i'm saying perfectly, but I think you can understand what I mean.
