...was fitted with the following:
1 x large trimark armor plate
1 x large trimark armor plate
1 x large trimark armor plate
buffer tanks are partly the fault of the double hp buff of a few years ago, and partly the fault of rigs.
nerf the buffer or improve the active, ill accept either.
the current status quo makes for a huge yawnfest.

Yes.
Nerf the buffer tank so that my 8x Tobias Tempest Tribal Issue insta-pops every type of battleship.
which given the huge investment in that ship would be fair enough i reckon.

Since we're all nerfing things, nerf speed and active tanks while you're at it.
as noted above this has been done: polycarbs used to be on everything then they swung the bat, active tanking is pretty much pointless within the modern pvp environment.
idk, id just like to see what someone else said above - where you actually need to stay on top of cap and positioning as opposed to saying "my Geddon had 930k ehp"

i dunno, there are some good points here, i kind of started this discussion because im sick of seeing EFT pastes that end "trimark x 3".
theres like a logic for me that says if something is used by everyone it is due a nerf or in better terms a rebalance.
I wasnt arguing specifics im not really a game designer.
I have always find that once a module, ship or fit in eve reaches a critical mass of over-use the balancing gets done anyway, i think it needs highlighting that that time is probably sooner rather than later.
that said here are a few answers to replies:
logistics are a good point. However they could use some work on their capability - perhaps a range of balancing dependant on the security of the space you are in.
null sec battles in fairness do require a buffer however it should be noted that (1) lag is playing a part in this and (2) the constant production of capital class vessels could perhaps fill this gap? maybe lower ehp and improve agility for caps?

Working as intended. 
like nanos?
blasterthrons?
heavy drone eos?
heavy drone myrm?
nos domi?
i could go on but i think the point is made: I would be prepared to bet fairly heavily that Gallente are next on the buff list for the same reasons - they are at a low ebb in terms of capability.
