Tanks
Shield tanks are poop. Straight up, poop. Armor tanks are fairly balanced atm tho, hoepfully they do not recive the armor rep nerf. If they do, they will be worse than shield tanks because the already godly AV does ample damage to them. This "bug fix" can not happen because it actually balances the tank. It needs to be there! Other than that the armor tanks is pretty fair. A ligit, reliable and beatable tank. Balanced.

Shield tanks on the other hand, are not balanced. The only thing they have going for them are the explosive resist,the regenerating shields are too slow to be significant, there will be Lavs with more natural regen than these failtreds and this cannot happen. Buffing the natural regen to 35-50 would be something reliable and not quiet rediculas. Also, shield tanks active reps are not worth using, you will be handicapted for using these. Right now they last 10 seconds for a 30% DMG reduction with a cool down of 30 seconds. Only change needed is the active time, needs to increase from 10 seconds to 30-40. Not quiet as awsume as armor tanks but it would at lease be worth using. Also, due to dramatically lower CPU/PG amounts compared to the armor tanks, shield tanks can not fit ADV or Proto stabalized blasters or regulated railguns, even with the assistance of 2 proto PG extenders. There simply is not enough fittting avaiable to make this possible, these metal boxes need ethire another low slot or more base fitting to have the luxary of having a variety of fittings. Right now its not possible.

why shouldnt LAVs have more natural regen than tanks? it makes sense really, tanks should have massive pools of HP that is slow to regen. they can stay in the fight longer, but have to take longer to recover. LAVs on the other hand are much better suited to hit and run tactics making the smaller HP pool/ higher regen well suited to their size class.

Gallentean ships are more massive than Caldarean ships, but they can still achieve higher speeds due to more powerful engines. I believe Gallente vehicles should still be faster than Caldari vehicles, but Caldari vehicles should have more torque and better acceleration.

LAVs on the other hand are much better suited to hit and run tactics making the smaller HP pool/ higher regen well suited to their size class. Tanks should have more natural regen than LAVs. Frigates in EVE don't have the highest shield regen. As the ship gets bigger and more powerful, their shield regen gets stronger as well. It should be the same deal with vehicles. However, dropsuits should be the way they are in terms of shield regen. They have limited power packs (if not identical) which means that the heavier the suit, the more power gets diverted to the motors to move the suit and less to recharge shields.
