Don't get me wrong, my scout works well with the FS plates, but my assault doesn't really get anything out of them.
I'd like to see a bonus to the GAL assault suit that reduces CPU/PG cost for plates(I'd also like to see my amarr bros get this bonus, but I don't know if we have the same specialty bonus)
Or at least that speed reduction penalty we heard about for normal plates. Also, Amarr should get a overall bonus to EHP for both armour and shield extender modules(I don't use amarr suits, but it just seems to me that would make the most sense) |

new plates are trash for anything that actually needed the armor buff, regen buff etc |

Yeah, they don't add anything to help the armour situation.
I tried to make a fit that revolved around the new plates, it worked...just not that well... |

I trained up to be an armor tanking Minmatar Logistics which works well enough. I'm training for complex shield extenders now and may take advantage of some of the new plates to try a speedier Logistics fit. I agree the plates are not very useful for true armor defense. |

Its not necessarily a bad thing either, they had to bridge a gap.
Now just give me and my arm bros some love. |

The ferroscale speed glitch is the only thing good about the new armor plates, and I'm sure we'll be saying goodbye to that soon too |

Has CCP commented on this and is it confirmed to actually work or is it just a fitting screen issue like the dmg mod stacking (which I think they removed)
I have actually seen people argue on here that it is working as intended to help with speed reduction  |

I don't think so, but I am pretty its a unintended glitch. |

Ofcourse they are meant for non-armor tankers! CCP loves shields! LOVES THEM SOOOOOO MUCH THAT THEY WILL BLOW OFF ANYONE THAT DOESN'T USE THEM.

Armor tank. Shield tank.
... noobs.
just... tank.
... if you're not DPS tanking while your shield regens and speed tanking while your armor reps, you're doing it wrong. Specialization has its disadvantages as seen by "shield" tanks that get torn through like a wet paper bag after a flux and "armor" tanks that completely disregard the need for shields and speed and die immediately to weapons designed to rip through armor.
gotta take advantage of everything you have. If you're an "armor tanker"  who stacks damage mods in your highs... well... you get what you get for trying to be a glass canon.
... try to break free of EvE tank doctrines and realize that this game is about balancing survivability with DPS... not about balancing shields against armor.
but w/e, i'm a noob. |

They are good, just not for actual armor tankers but I'm sure this was intended, as CCP only loves shields. |
