I am wondering as a Caldari pilot why the devs felt that shield tanked ships had to use mid slots instead of lows like the armor tankers. Why can't slot layouts for all races include, 1. highs offensive 2. mids utility 3. lows tank and some utility? I would like to here from CCP on why this is not so. I do not see any benefit other than making Caldari ships a bit more viable in pvp. Am I overlooking something?

One of the reasons is that shields regenerate passively, armor doesn't. To balance that out they made shield mid slots.

I think that the massive Em hole that Caldari ships have is penalty enough. :)

By tanking with mid-slots, the low-slots are made available for gank, speed, and fitting mods. It's a trade-off, and the diversity is a big plus to the game.
In addition to Minmatar, obviously, many Gallente ships have very compelling shield buffer fits that play completely differently from the typical armor setups, specifically because the two tanks use different slots. Caldari and Amarr ships tend to be more locked in to one role by slot-layouts (you can see this in the carriers as well), but everyone can train any race, of course.
Putting all tank mods in the lows (or mids) would ruin fitting diversity.

E? Nani kore? Some of Caldari's finest tanks comes from using low-slot Shield Power Relays. Caldari ships simply give you the choice: you can go wild on shield-stuff with your med-slots, or combine a little with low slots. I don't see the problem.

Dear Caldari focused pilot who would like cake and eat it too. HTFU! Every race has a focus, trade offs, balances. Just cause you can't do what you want to do with the race you specialized in doesn't mean one of the other races can't.
PS: I too would like a missile spitting Drake of doom with all the lows filled with tank and gank and 3 mid slots for MWD, Point, Web.
Also NO!

All of the other races can choose to tank and gank in one or another of there race specific ships. If a Caldari pilot chooses to do so he has to give up tank. I do not see an advantage (for caldari) to making the slot layouts the same for all races. If they where to do it and some ship like the Drake became over powered then the devs can surely nerf it as they have done in the past. Why would you be so scared of a missile boat that can tank and gank? There are gun boats that can do it. Why are you afraid of a fair fight?

as a faildari s****you already get the best eve has to offer and yet you want better ?? imo your shields should drain more powergrid and cap than they do atm, to make them come into line with the armour tankers who more times than not are cap unstable and dont get passive regens.
