Ed: Also, oversized mods wouldn't be as much of a pain in the ass.
NO. It is worse enough that we have ASB, but an armor variant of ASB would make it competely overpowered. Furthermore I like it that there are completely different types of tanking. ASB is also overpowered if you fit two or more of them therefore I think they should simply forbit installing more than one ASB on a ship.
Sorry but no it wouldn't, you haven't given any argument proving your point however I can easily tell you without a doubt you don't fly shield Taloses or ever crossed an XL-ASB Talos group with fast point support (ceptors/assault frigs) -they literally genocide everything in their path including much larger groups.
OP is when you can fit an XL-ASB in a Vagabond then fit only dps/prop mods and you go take on 3 up to 5 ships including tanky ships but you're still able to gank them without much of a problem.
OP is when you fit cloack XL-ASB Lokis and simply destroy everything without even think about your tank because it's not a problem (specially on loki)
OP is a double med ASB 100MN AB Tengu, already crossed one of these? -run away dude, you'll get pinned/killed FTL without even know what's happening.
Because Cyclone, no need to talk about this one every one in this forum should have already crossed at least one.
Did you even realised a cloacky Loki with one of these has far above 1200 DPS tank, a good 600 guns dps, can perma run MWD with above 1600m/s mobility? (pimp it+implants+combat booster and relegates pimp Tengus to middle age)
-and you people are crying all over this forum Tengus are OP?? seriously?
Edit: I'll let you and every one who has any doubt take a look around
here and see how much shield became meta including based armor ships with rep bonus. And there's a reason why shields that were already good including active ones became OP with this modules. While some ships needed this sort of module to become used again those who didn't became even more present, and there's no real counter to this but numbers unless specific situation.
