i think it would be a good thing to have a sort of commodity, like the nanite paste, but different which can be used to repair armor and hull damage. The main reason for this is that going into enemy territory you cant dock anywhere to repair and once you take some damage, you are pretty much doomed to die if you get caught again, unless you have mods that can repair the damage. I would really like to be able to have a bit longer term survival in hostile territory without having to dock and repair all the time. I mean, its not different than mod repair.
So my suggestion is that we have some sort of paste or something that you can use to slowly regenerate armor and hull, however there should be some drawbacks to this, to prevent abuse. The repair amount per second would be a certain % of the ships total HP. Also the amount of superpaste used would be proportional to the damage and total HP of the ship.
This should also be used to repair damage drones once they are in the drone bay. During the repair the drones cannot be used and the repair of drones cannot be stopped.
Armor / Hull Repair
1. It cannot be used in combat 2. Your ship must not be moving, so you can get probed down if you dont do it at the right time. 3. If you move, the repair stops and has to be re-initiated. 4. Damage past 80% cannot be repaired in space and has to be repaired at dock. 5. Make it fairly bulky so you cant repair your ship indefinitely.

Repair drones? Take a logi? Fit for active tank? |

If you don't want to rely on anyone else, train a second account for a prowler. 2 high slots give you ability to armor rep and cloak, plus plenty of room for cap booster charges...
If the people who live in null sec have to deal with the logistics of living out there, so should the people who come out there to prey on them. |

I notice you ignored the option of active tanking. I guess I shouldn't be surprised at this point. Armor tankers always want to keep the advantages of armor tanking (larger buffers) and yet still gain the advantages of shields (passive regen, or better active reps).
What it comes down to is this: Armor tanking and shield tanking are different. If you want passive regen, fit for shields. If you want massive buffer, fit for armor. You can't have both.

How you having to go for repair is any different from me having to resupply my cap boosters 14 |

Active tank without cap boosters means certain death in PVP. Especially if you go solo. You will die from lack of cap boosters, same as you will for unrepairable damage, if you even try to go deeper in 0.0 or low sec. I cant repair my hull or drones with active tanking.
The repair im talking about is PVP induced, not PVE, which it seems you are addressing. My suggestions are addressing PVP related issues, not if I want to go ratting in low sec or whatever. If you dont get into fights and avoid them at all cost, then you dont need repairs. If you actively PVP then you do.
Who said anything about having both shield and armor? Shields recharged, slowly but they do. Thats why I did not mention them in my initial post.
Point is that you CANNOT survive very well if you try to solo PVP because of logistical issues and the lack of certain options that you DO NOT have, but SHOULD have. You dont even have stuff you can carry with you to repair yourself, which is dumb i think. |

Who said anything about lviing there? I PVP there, not live there.
Yeah, why dont you just have a whole alliance of alts to do everything else for you. Train 4 more accounts.
Why not just eliminate self armor repping all together and rely entirely on logi?
The point of solo PVP'rs and solo roaming is the thrill of achievement and self reliance, without backup, without alliances, without buddies, without help. A lot of people cant do anything in low sec or 0.0 alone, and PVP alone, even less. Only the Solo PVPer knows what im talking about, the gankers dont really. |

You're in RvB. You shouldn't have to go to null to get pew. Infact you should be able to undock right into pew for pretty much 23 hours a day. However, if you're dead set on going roaming in null, ask in the rvb channel. I'm sure you'll get a few bites (Try Mycael if he's still there). There you go, instant gang!
We're going to have to disagree on your statement about "the lack of certain options that you DO NOT have, but SHOULD have" because I don't think you should have those options. EVE is a multiplayer game, go make some friends. |

How about that rather useless regenerative nano membranes that we armor tankers ignore because ENAMs are better. If it kept the same total armor % bonus but also gained some kind of passive regen. You could kill two birds with one stone this way, make a mostly useless module useful (and in line with its name), and help this man with his armor woes. |
