The mwd shield penalty obviously favors armor based ships rather than shield based ships. The shield based lose more ship hp overall and roleplay reasons aside this is imbalanced. Frigates need speed and looking at the new elites the Caldari and Minmatar will lose out the most cos they have more shield hp. If they do stop us from using oversized afterburners I think they should either remove the shield penalty from mwd or add an armor penalty too.
Edit : i actually think they should remove shield penalty it or add penalty to armor regardless of if oversized ab are to be nerfed

one of the caldari ships gets a shield boost bonus, perfect combo with a mwd
Yes fair point but other than the hawk with the shield boosting bonus (not that many people use a shield booster on a frig)- the caldari Crow, Raptor, harpy and minmatar jaguar all suffer a bigger loss of hp than armor based ships when using mwd. This penalty will continue to hit new (shield based) ships more than armor as they are introduced.
I mean the new gallente ones the Enyo (4 blasters  ) and Ishkur (3 blasters & up to 5 medium drones) are gonne be pretty damn tough to beat even without having the benifit of not losing as much hp cos of mwd

the other ships suffer as well, the minmatar and caldari dont use as much cap for their weapons like the amarr and galente. So two races suffer from shield where it matters and two suffer from cap where it matters.
and yes the galante ships are naaaaasty 
aye but whats the good of the extra cap cos of no cap weapons if your ship is destroyed faster...
