Step 1:
Increase the amount of health given by armor plates of all types/tiers by a significant %.
Step 2:
I lied, there isn't a step 2. The current regeneration vs. total armor rates really hurt logistics players so adding more health but not more regeneration de-nerfs real logi players. Armor tanks should stay slow, with slow regeneration. Just make them beefier. |

Step 1 doesn't work because aslong as shield suits can equip armor (not saying they shouldnt) the HP difference will be negligible, or would require a very high buff before it can actually matter. Also as long as we ALWAYS have to sacrifice a low slotbfor armor repair we will never be where we need to be, giving a passive armor repair to all suits would actually benefit the logistics suits, since they lose their logi dependance and armor and shields suits will focus more on armor rather than repair logis will be even more necessary for both shields and armor, currently shield suits don't benefit mguch from Logi love. |

Armor isn't supposed to be easy to repair. That's what sets it apart from shields. So no this wouldn't make people who rely on armor repairers more effective. But it doesn't need to. Consider it like this.
If the weakest armor plates gave you 100k health would you use them? Would you fill every lowslot with them and rely entirely on logi? Damn right you would!
So somewhere between the current numbers and 100k is a value for armor plates that makes them worth using but not OP.
A shield tank with plates equipped isn't really a shield tank. It's a hybrid. And if an armor tank want to sacrifice damage boosts or a shield tank wants to sacrifice speed / fitting boosts to hybrid it up, then that's fine. Generally they'll have less high/low slots in the type if defense they aren't meant to tank.

Give heavy suits more PG and make armour modules cost more PG?
