I am gonna have to agree with Ted on that. Sheild Megathron is just kinda funny.
I'm no PvP expert, but I have heard of this thing fleets do called Remote Reps used with ships that mount armor plates. That extra low slots seems ideal for just such a setup.
I will grant that shields, especially with ASB's loose and running free, do seem to be better especially for solo and smaller gangs, but not every ship needs to be a shield tank. Agitate to fix the shield/armor thing, not warp perfectly good ships into shield ships. |

Again, I'm not a PvP guy... But don't the Caldari make the Rohk?
It seems if you are looking for a hybrid platform that sheild tanks, that would be the tool for the job. Otherwise, I'm thinking you are looking for something made of rust and solar panels and those ever so hurtful projectile turrets with their capless firing, selectable damage and superior range.
I have no idea why you would want to shield tank an Amarr or Gallente ship, unless it's an ASB thing, but even with ASB I have to think that a Minmatar or Caldari ship is going to be your go to ships for sheild tanked death. |

Well...
I guess I can understand that. When I was new to EVE I was doing level 3's in sheild tanked (and rigged for sheilds, before there were small & Medium rigs!!) Arbitrators and Vexxors. The damn rigs cost double what the hulls did at the time. I was an idiot...
Then I finally learned to trust my armor, got my fitting/cap/armor compensation skills up, figured out what an EANM was, and most importantly got into battleships and away from the anemic repair of medium armor repairers.
I would imagine the ASB's create the same situation. The rep is just too good, especially to be cap free. Plus there is the passive regen of the sheilds to consider as well, which always kind of irked me about armor despite my love of drones and resultant attraction to the Gallente ship line. I've always wanted a module similar to cap and power relays that would trade something for significant passive armor resist. |
