Just had a random thought here, literally a minute ago.
Make passive shield hardeners lowslot modules.
Pros: tank can be fit in lows, provides a workable alternative to nanos or DCUs, frees utlity slots for shield ships especially t2 ships which are short on slots.
cons: current resistance bonus too high - needs nerfing, competes for space with other passive shield mods and cap mods, 'might' break certain fits which otherwise are considered balanced in the current meta due to midslot shortages.
discuss. As always I focus on increasing reasons to use things and I think lowslot passive resist modules (at reduced resistance rates) will help a few ships and some shield doctrines gain some versatility while taking away space for damage/speed mods.

Nope, shield need to stay on medslots.
Armor = possibility of ewar on medslot while armor are on lowslots
Shield = possibility of speed/dps on lowslot while shield are on medslots.
Already finely balanced. |

Agreed, besides you already have shield tank mods for the low slots. Shield Flux Coils may not be the best mod but they do add to something that armor tank will never have, passive recharge. |

OP wants to tank in mid and low slots.
OP should try dual tanking

Beat me to it.
Before changing a working (or subjectively unbalanced) system inform yourself of the basic mechanics and development doctrines affecting this. Consider balance issues and exploits, then suggest the concept with more then the most obvious differences. Also consider the lore, Shields are energy systems, to move a demanding energy system from medium to low does not make even sense there.
Thx.

Exactly. They're passive. They don't consume capacitor. Also by reducing the modules base resistance bonus allows for the skills they're related to to matter more much like passive hardening bonuses on wards of old.

Consuming capacitor has nothing to do with the energy consumption that is considered for the slots, that's Powergrid. The other fitting value is CPU, otherwise, why is my drone link augmentor as a passive in my high slot  ???

Great idea! Next, make active armor hardeners mid slot modules and we can be one step closer to a completely ******* boring landscape where all differences are strictly cosmetic, and no fitting decision carries any meaningful consequence.

Why? So that's it's easier to stack resists up along with active hardeners?
Thorr already said what needs to be said, you already have the "advantage" of having shield lowslot modules |
