ccp will troll you all and the xl extender will be the one for capitals.
until then just make due with your capless asb
required brining up of difference in implants between shield and armor (shield get stronger reps, armor better buffer) |

It's way easier to get a fat armor tank on a battleship than a shield tank. Small shield extenders don't get used period, and large on used on the second smallest ship size. It makes no sense that there isn't a larger shield extender for battleships. You can easily get two 1600 plates on any armor battleship, and they're worth twice as much.
"Oh, but shield regen!"
Which contributes nothing to your buffer. Either you get reps or you explode. No tiny shield regen is going to save you, or even make you last another second. Shield regen has only ever mattered in PvE and that's the only place it ever will matter.
that only applies to large scale. shield regen can be used and makes a difference in smaller scale engagements. Also ASB. |

Shield regen has only ever mattered in PvE and that's the only place it ever will matter. that only applies to large scale. shield regen can be used and makes a difference in smaller scale engagements. Also ASB. Even in small scale base shield regen is meaningless. Even in PvE, you have to fit modules dedicated to passive regen in order to make it effective at all. Base shield regen is really only a multiplier for any modules you fit geared towards passive shield regen. By itself it is useless. The amount of time it takes to regenerate your shields is massive. And what the hell does ASB have to do with anything? Active and buffer tank don't really mix, so there's no discussion on that subject to be had.
ASB's are something that shield have that armor don't just like armor can fit worth more ehp.
