People need to actualy realize that Crystal implants are not over powered in PvP. Sure it gives shield tanking a greater sustainability (still nothing compared to an armor tank tho) but thats if you an NPC'er.
A Caldari PvP'er has to fit a scrambler, (and if your a raven pilot a painter or web so you can actualy hit anything smaller than you) Once you take into account all the utilities you have to fit it really does not leave alot of room for a tank like the other races get. This implant set has allowed Caldari ships (and especialy the smaller ones with limited mid slots) to perform on par with their other racial counterparts.
Change the implants and we may as well all go back to flying nothing but EW boats cos we sure as hell wont compete in a straight up fight.

Gist boosters, pimped amps and crystals...
All of them individually are very powerful, but it's due to the multiplicative way shield tanking works that they become so overpowered that it's ******* *******.
Ballance should NEVER be based on faction items. Ballance has to be derived from T1 and T2 and in those cases the implants are fine as is.

Im quite amazed about all the referances to it being over powered, when its only the case for mission runners/npc'ers who can dedicate their mids to a total tank. This set has always allowed me to drop my amp for a scrambler and has never overpowered my raven but simply allowed it to compete in the field.
I mean at heart all this implant set is, is a 2.4 billion ISK shield amp...one we wont get refunded if they nerf it.

Your tacklers should be scrambling for you so this isn't really needed, unless you're solo'ing in a bs and think you should for some reason be a solo pwnmobile. Also, it irritates me that you can fit a scrambler, have an implant set effectively give you another mid slot+, and have a gank fitting in your low slots. And yet people are still here whining that it's unfair you're going to be brought in line with other pirate implants (don't forget your tank will still be far above standard).
So you dont fit a scrambler on your mega or apoc then? Sramblers are essential on a BS in small scale combat because more often than not your tackler cant last the duration and has to bail. He should only need to get the tackle until your BS can take over.
As for the "free mid slot item", what about the no penilty plate the slaves give you? Have you ever seen what a Neutron fitting mega can do to you with 2 "vurtual 1600mm plates" that the slave set gives you? Not to mention the boost safety barrier they give to hacs command ships and recons.
