For my proto shield tank Minmatar logi.
4 complex shield extenders, 2-3 shield regulators, and 1-2 complex ferroscale plates. It adds just that little extra bit that has saved me on more than one occasion whenever someone -does- hit me with a flux grenade, (or I hit myself with one) and I'm turned into a bare armor tank. Then when my regulators kick in in like 3 seconds, my shields are almost instantly maxed, and my armor slowly regens with its base 5 hp/sec. But whenever I've found myself winning engagements with less than 60 armor, I thank my ferroscale plates for their extra support that kept me alive. Congrats, you're Minmatar the Race that benefits the most from the new plates but keep in mind they don't help pure armour tankers (Gallente)
Yeah, that was my point. Even at their best, the only thing they're good for is a supplement to shield tanking. It honestly would be silly in my opinion to use them any other way. Use them as an actual armor tank? You'd be crazy, you can get nearly as much hp from a basic plate for a fraction of the cpu / pg / isk cost. Give them a large buff in hp given, and make them have a decent shield nerf, like 40% shield regen rate reduction so that people like me can't abuse them. |

Be thankful that the Logi was provided with only one weapon slot. Besides, sniping is not the only thing I do. I'm a support as well, providing nests like nanohives and drop uplinks for whenever my squadmates need them. I don't see anything wrong with Logi being snipers. There's heavy snipers, assault snipers, scout snipers, etc. You're going to have to go to "confession" for that lie. No one uses Logis for "logi stuff". It's just a better platform for assault, than assault suits are. It's like having a "Gamer's For Christ" tag, and thinking that they're actually religious. The whole thing is just stupid.
Your point is irrelevant. I do use "Logi stuff" as you put it. I am also religious. Praise God! :) |

for logi, I use the reactives, small movement speed loss with hp/s regen.
It may seem ideal for snipers, but from what i see, snipers will roll with plates more effectivley |

Yes, I'm running fits with both the new plates. I usually stack one Basic Plate, One Enhanced Ferroscale and One Enhanced Reactive + Shields. Although I do run fits with 3 Ferroscale, 3 Enhanced Basic Plates etc etc, depends on the fit I suppose, I used to tank 3 x Enhanced Basic Plates and the movement penalty was killer, but ever since I've started mixing them up my KD has risen insanely.
And what's the point of armor plating a sniper fit? Stick some CPU mods in your low slots and stack up Damage mods in the highs, if you get spotted it's all over anyway, no point in wasting slots. |

I think you would be better off with reactive plates |

these No MS penalty Plates work well on an Amarr Assault suit.
the PG and CPU does need to be a bit lower or they need to increase the Armor to 80. |
