I see were Armor and shield tanks are different. Also, I fly both of them. I like both of them, and I like their differences.
EvE was a sandbox once upon a time, and we are getting to a place where everything is becoming vanilla and balanced out to be equal; in the end, we'll fly the ships we like by their looks because it won't matter, it'll be no different than any other ship. I've seen this in other games; which is why I don't play them anymore.
Active shield tanks are in no way inferior to armor tanks. I can get my maelstrom to tank insane amounts with a deadspace booster. Amounts that any of my armor tanked ships dreams about. It is more than just the module. So when CCP will boost Shield tanks to the point that they think its "balanced", will they then wake up and realize that shield tanking has an implant set for it and armor doesn't? Oups.
Plug your crystals, gents, and you won't regret doing it.
Hell, with boosts and bluepill a tengu can tank roughly 8k DPS omni in a very ******** way while boasting 530dps and fitting a point and a prop and be fully pvp-viable. I can't get tank on armor ships, not even with boost and pills.
So where is the problem?
The Hyperion is an armor tanker.. it can now tank "like a beast". Great. also needs to pack 3 reppers to do that and will only do 500-700ish dps.
Currently I tank better in a maelstrom with crystals. plus, i get the same or more DPS because my lows are free.
Armor tankers have to trade dps and range. Not enough they are slow as derp.
Maybe people should stop whining so much and maybe then a game that was awesome because of many strange mechanics made it such a sweet place where players had to be a little ingenuous to come up with ways to utilize things, instead of being catered crap.
One last note: Boosting shield reps and NOT boosting deadspace mods is plain intellectually challenged. Might as well remove them from the game then. The difference between the T2 x-large and a gist x-x large has been cut so much it isn't funny anymore. It'll only be viable now due to fitting reqs and cap usage. but surely not for its reps over T2.
Stop tinkering with values in a database and give us a real expansion. |
