Edited by: Naomi Knight on 29/12/2009 09:50:08 Edited by: Naomi Knight on 29/12/2009 09:49:59 The problem is that damage controls give more resists to armor than to shield.
-As base armor resist already higher than the base shield resists ,it makes little sense why DC t2 gives +10% resist to armor. -Remote armor repairs already better than remote shield boosters , both in cap efficiency and in fitting -also armor plates gives more hp than shield extenders
No wonder why there are nearly only rr armor bs gangs and no rr shield. By fixing the DC shield resists it would make rr shield / shield buffer tanks a little less sucky compared to armor.

it's a low slot item which is mostly used for... armor tankers. If they make DCU's midslot items you can have increased shield resists over armor resists. It's not like that was a leap of logic beyond human capability?

Damage Controls are exempt from stacking penalties. Giving shields a non-stacking penalized resist bonus to all resistances in a slot not designed to provide resistances to shields would be unfair as armor tankers can not receive that.
Be grateful you get something that armor tankers do not get.

Edited by: Dark Voynix on 29/12/2009 09:58:58 <Troll mode on> yes!!! and fix also the auto shield regeneration rate. let shield dont repair alone ( as armour ..) Guess what? shield and armour are work differently!! 
<Troll mode off> dont forget that you are using all med slot for shield tanking + 1 low slot for the DC , while armour tankers cant use a med slot for armour tanking ... last but not least: Why in the hell you will change DC for RR ballance? if shield RR are unballanced as you claim the way to fix it whould be gimping rr shield repairers?

then mwd is a med slot item and it is mandatory in most cases also there are usually more low slots than med slot like: usually caldari bs 6 med 5 low , amarr bs 4 med 7 low sum that gives 10 med 12 low see? more lows than meds

DC is mandatory for each rr bs fit , i also wrote that it wont fix rr imbalances but would lessen the distance a bit btw it is up to ccp to fix rr shield as it currently way less usefull than rr armor

Why shield tankers can fit full rack of tank AND damage mods, but armor tankers need to remove tank in order to pu damage mods? ME WANNA MED SLOT DAMAGE MODS

hmm op has a point (bad, ill thought, but still)..
what we need is a second dcu unit (mutally exclusive) for mid slots. It will give the same ratio of shield/armour resistance but mirrored. So better shield resists but you'll lose a mid slot.
That would be fair right?

It was almost a stroke of genius trying to bring in number of slots across different races and combining them to demonstrate your point, but you lost effectiveness when you said 'see!' and your tollishness (is that a word?) came to the fore .
Shield tanks get passive regen for which resistances can be as important as buffer. The armour tanks trade the increased resistance buff for a tank slot. That's how fair it is, they're different.
When you can come back with an arguement about why they should be the same then your troll can continue but please don't try it with your current arguments because they just don't have the quality needed for these forums. 5/10

So according to Dark Voynix rr setups dont need mwd/cap booster ,Iwonder how they will keep the rr modules running. Then rr setups need mwd+cap booster+usually 1 other med slot module that gives them -2-3 slots they can use for tank just like armor users gives up low slots for dmg mods, I see no unbalance there as both can use the same amount of slots for tanks.
Let me point this again for u. raven 6 med 5 lows megathron/typhoon 4 med 7 low geddon 3 med 8 low ,remove the slots needed for mwd/cap booster/2 dmg mods/dc Raven 4 med 2 low mega/typhoon 2 med 4 low geddon 1 med 5 low , on noo it show us that the mega/typhoon both can use as many mods for tank as the raven and the geddon can use even more, and still i havent added the usuall 1 med slot needed for some kind of tackler/eccm.
Harris: passive regen for shield omg, when was the last time that saved you from be killed in fleets? anyway isnt base lower resists /less hp on buffer modules compensate for that little recharge? Passive regen shield tanks only good for pve anyway. Ive never said they should be the same,but the DC resist difference makes no sense.

Remove the shield resists.
If it's not supposed to be a shield tanking module then it shouldn't be. The end.

I love DCUs as they are, as I fly mostly hull tanked ships they are totally invaluable to me. Freeing up a low-slot would be very nice (for me ) but overpowered. ______________________________________________

You want a Better Shield resist to your Dcu, Sure just one things first, Give us armour tankers Officer EANMs that give us 50+ to all resistances when skills are at V, and while your at it. Give us some Armour Repair Amplifiers, You're right all our tanking types should be Exatly the same.
Oh you're Serious? In that case, remember, Sheild tanks are BURST tanks compared to the slow repiar of armour. You get lower resistances (So you claim) but you burst in the begining of your cycle and you rep alot more. DCU is fine. Leave it. you want more resists get a CNIvul, or go officer. - Emperor

Personally I wouldnt, but I've seen some rather out-of-the-box dual-MSE jaguar fittings using one.
Besides, tanking isnt restricted to pvp as far as I know, in fact pvp favours buffer over anything else, be it passive HP regen or active tanking.

Not better shield resist but fair shield resist compared to armor, officer eanms sure when they have to be activated use lots of caps needs much more cpu to fit and slaves implants wont affect capitals. I dunno where did you get the idea that i want shield tank to be the same as armor tank , if you insist then DC could give more shield resist than armor there you go :P.
Shield tanks burst tanks vs "slow" armor repair , this topic isnt about this ,but if you insist: large remote armor repair t2 : cap cost 252 GJ duration 4.5 sec armor repaired 384hp vs large shield transporter t2: cap cost 280GJ duration 4.5 sec shield repaired 384hp looks like they both rep the same amout and have same duration while shield uses more cap....
oh wait you talk about local rep... sure most of us uses that in pvp especially sub capital ,I also assume you ment the x-large shield booster vs large armor repper because everybody knows how easy to fit the x-large sb + shield boost amply up compared to the large armor reppers -also you forgot look at rigs where armor has a +15% efficiency for reppers while there are no such one for shield
similarly fitted raven vs mega : mega fit : 2*large armor rep t2+dc t2+eamn t2+ heavy cap booster t2 +2 armor pump rigs +1 nanobot rig 505ehp/sec repped 435ehp/sec sustained vs raven : x-large shield b t2+shield boost ampl t1+ invu t2 +dc t2 +heavy cap booster t2+1 capactior safeguard rig +2 operation soli rigs max 537ehp/sec repped 415 ehpsec sustained
From this i would call that even local armor reps dont fall behind(less than 7%) local shield reps in amount of ehp repped.
"Leave it. you want more resists get a CNIvul, or go officer." oh sure every body should fit their pvp ships with CNinvus ,right? Lets have a deal you supply me with CN invus for 2m isk each and I say that shield tanks are fine.
At least you are tring to reason not like others.

I saw some dualmse jags too and imo they are not that good because they lack mwd or web. And for pve active shield tank is best - not because it can tank more dps, but because you can use all lows on weapon upgrades.

Edited by: Emperor Ryan on 29/12/2009 13:06:05 You made one noteable fatal Error in your post. I'll Make it clear, You pointed out, Armour tanks have a Rig that Increase Effectiveness by 15% and sheilds do not.
You failed to miss out we have a rig that increases rep speed, as you also have a sheild rig to increase Boost speed.
That being said you cleary must have overlooked that sheild tanks alos get a boost amp, which gives a Whooping 35%+ or more to sheild boost.. That's double what one Armour rig gives for extra rep... And wait, there's more, Even with 2 of my armour rigs, THEY STACK so i still can't acheve 30% more repping without deticating ALL three Rig slots. Now please explain to me, Why i have to spend 60m on rigs to get the same effect that i can get for a 900k module for a sheild tank which only consumes one slot.
Oh did i mention the sheild tanker still gets 3 more rig slots to fit whatever he likes

WE have??? you mean armor tankers? Wait I'm an armor tanker too ,because I've already skilled up to amarr knowing that bs shield tanks can not compete with armor so I'm always better in a geddon/apoc than in a raven/rokh also the zealot is just superior to eagle/deimos.
I havent missed out the rep speed rigs ,I just didnt mention that as both armor and shield have those.
If you have read my post then you would have noticed that i taken the shield boost ampli into account during the raven vs mega comparison. If you think those fits are bad then pls come up with better ones for both the mega and raven, oh and i left out the weapons as x-large shield boosted raven is unfittable with t2 torps, pls provide full fits which clearly shows me that local shield boost is clearly better than armor.

Not really, since it's, as you point out, it's a complex combination of what other modules are available, what bonuses they give, what ships they're fitted to and what bonuses they have.
Going after a single module without providing (reasonably) comparable setups and showing what makes them unequal, and what your change will do to rectify the situation doesn't really work.

This "problem" could be fixed by putting the Invulnerability Field in its own item group and giving it a mirror of the effects of the Damage Control. And I'd put one on every armor tanker. :)

Oh god this 
You think it's clever?
I magically grant you 6/hp per second armor regen which is about the base peak shield regen on a BS. Is everything right in the world now?
Or was it that you wanted to be able to sacrifice all of your slots for an actually viable passive armor tank or something? In that case just go shield then, since you're wasting all of your slots anyway.
But, yeah. These forums seriously need some indicator that the post has ended and the sig has started.

Funnily enough, when tanking plexes and missions, shieldtankers are most popular. Nerf quickly!
These things are all true:
- Shield regens - Shield booster gives more than armor repairer - Shield increases sig radius which is kinda bad when facing nasty plex with capital torp. - LARII repairs less than X-L SB II - Shield --> more slots of damage mods (useful everywhere but primarily PvP as you want mids for tackle) Every piece of damage mod or CPR for example, decreases tank by quite a lot. - Armor --> more slots of tackling (amazing as you can have a massive buffer while still having sensorbooster/point/web/w/e you want in mids. For shield tanking every piece of tackle or sb or similar is a huge nerf in tank.
Tbh, both are awesome at different things :|

Sheild tanks are useless in pvp, this is why fleets of drakes and scimitars can dominate battleship heavy fleets two times their size and why all HAC gangs are sheild tanked.

Oh please, could the people in here please get a clue. The two tanking systems are fine and if you have a problem with any one of them, just crosstrain. The only thing that might need a slight looking at might be the crazy CPU needs of shield RR, and I don't really have a problem with that either.

Armor tanks are meant to be buffer tanks while shield tanks are meant more for active tanks. Shield tankers have a way better active tank than armor tankers so quit complaining.

1) Shields are not solid. They are a bubble surrounding the ship, trying desperately to keep solid objects from messing up your paint job. Hence, they may not be as resilient, or "RESISTANT" by comparison.
2) Armor IS solid. It is giant hunks of metal welded together, to keep other solid objects from messing up your innards. Hence, it may be more "RESISTANT" to damage.
3) Shields naturally draw power from the Capacitor to replenish themselves. This is referred to as "Shield Regeneration", and it happens no matter what. Even a ship completely Nos'd will still try and regenerate.
4) Armor does not regrow itself, despite the presence of "Regenerative Plating" as an item.
5) Take a look at the Medium Shield Booster, and compare to the Small Shield Transporter. Now tell me that Shield RR is not a valid tactic. |

Edited by: Elora Danzik on 29/12/2009 20:13:07 The thing that makes no sense to me is that no one seems to have pointed out you can only put one DCU on a ship. It costs minimal cap and fittings and runs forever.
It also provided increased resists sheild 7% something, armour 10-12%ish and Structure 60% across all resistances.
So how is this unfair? Personall as a shield tanker I'll tank an unstacked 7% right off the top.

I suspect the op is a troll and so I feel a bit guilty for responding but; Shield and armor tanking are not the same thing, the modules are different, the effects are different, armor reps at end of cycle shield at the start of cycle, armor plates reduce velocity, shield extenders increase signature radius, shields have sa***aurd rigs (cap use) and solidifier rigs (cycle time), armor gets nanobot accelerator (cycle time) and aux nano pump (rep amount), EANM are a passive module, Invulnerability fields are active (give me an armor mod you can overheat to increase all resists), shields have a boost amplifier, shield modules predominately use midslots and take up cpu whilst armor use low slots and are more power interse, shield recharges on it's own and there are rigs and modules to increase the recharge speed.
The two systems don't mirror each other.
I'm a max skilled scimitar pilot and shield RR get's plenty of use in pvp so take your argument about no shield rr somewhere else please. It's only really when you get to BS sized ships that 1600mm plate fits become common, it's much more common to see shield extenders used on hacs BC's cruisers etc. ~~~
