Passive/buffer shield tanks need to be nerfed. Nerfing armor buffer tanks is basically nerfing Gallente which is the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard. Gallente is already such a **** race to fly they really don't need any more nerfing. The nano nerf really just further nerfed them. Minmatar is still fast, with autocannon Vagabonds are hitting at 20km out, and they have huge shields and warp instantly. The penalty? +25 sig radius... lol really? Try flying a cruiser size ship with a 1600mm plate on where you can only hit up to 4km with webifiers that only slow 60% and a high likely hood you will be scrambled and thus your MWD will no longer work. Oh yeah, and you have no cap at all from running the MWD for hours to get there and the power hungry guns.
Nerf passive shield tanking. Leave passive armor tanks alone. Fix gallente for heavens sake.
Sorry did you just say that Vagabonds have HUGE shields. Have you ever actually flown one?
Also a buff to active tanking would actually improve gallente a bit as they are meant to active tank.
That being said I think the current mechanics around buffer and active are fine and the main reason people dont like flying active is due to it not doing anything to save you when the blob lands, well that and the fact everyone fills utility highs with neuts.

I agree a buff to active armour tanking would help Gallente out some. I meant with an extender. You get 2.6k+ shields for 25 sig... thats ridiculous trade off, the first one is basically penalty free.
While I agree the sig penalty isnt alot, shield extenders on a vaga are hardly penalty free. It still comes with all the drawbacks (not alot) of shield tanks namely lack of tank or cap utility (boosters). The tank on a Vaga though is speed if he is scrammed he is dead as his shield tank sucks balls.

Add more dedicated shield active tanking ships.
The only ones I can think of are Hawk, Cyclone, Maelstorm, and Sleip... Three of them being minnitard.
Any of the ships with resist bonuses active tank nearly as well as the boost amount bonused ones.
