/Warning heavy role-play post.
Yes itÆs true I am withdrawing the use of my passive shield tank algorithms on Battlecruisers due to licence problems with the empires and slower algorithms are being sent out via the hypernet as patchÆs to you ships AI.
See http://oldforums.eveonline.com/?a=topic&threadID=520425 for more.

ôIt just needs to be changed so main passive tank power will lay on mid slots.ö
What! Why? Passive tanks have always been about the low slots its only recently that they started using mid slots more but even now low slots mean more.
Extendesr need to be changed so we can go back to shield recharge not hitpoints being the main point of passive tanks.

ôOfc, its great that you can actually take any ship and make it do anything, but that anything shouldnt be better then specialized ship does.ö
Well I would argue the Gallente ships are specialized for passive tanking hence the high amount of low slots. Caldari donÆt have low slots so are not specialized towards it.
Well thatÆs only half true. Go back 3 or 4 years and it was Gallente had the high HP regen passive shield tanks. Caldari had the high hitpoint but low regen passive tanks.

ôIs a domi / myrm meant to shield tank?ö
The domi could shield tank long before it could amour tank so yes I would say its a shield tank ship. ItÆs a dual tank ship that can do both. Yes a Myrm is meant to shield tank. Read the background Gallante are not a pure amour tanking race. They favour amour tanking but itÆs not all they do.
ôPottsey, gallente are not specialized shield tankers, don't push them as such... their specialty is the HIGHEST dps ships in the game, and also fairly quick ships.ö
Gallente spent 4 years being specialized passive shield tankers. I am not trying to push them as that. Its what they are youÆre the one saying strip them of what they have always had for no good reason.
ôPlease in the name of balance stop this nonsense before everyone trains freakin gallente.ö
So itÆs ok to strip Gallante down to 1 tanking method while giving Caldari 3 tanking methods? Yet you talk about balance! If Gallente only need 1 tanking method than why do Caldari need 3?
We should go back to the old days Gallente where passive shield HP regen tankers and amour tankers while Caldari where active and hitpoint passive tankers. Now that was balanced as both raceÆs had two tanking methods.

ôHow do caldari have 3 types of tanking? We have passive ships which do no dps, and we have actives which do mediocre damage, and mediocre tank.ö
I have seen a lot of amour tanked Ravens and scorps with EW in the mid slots. Not as common as active shield tanks but it happens. Why should gallante lose shiled tanking it against the storyline and doesnÆt make sense.

ôNow lets just take the myrm. It can do BS damage, it can field as good a passive tank as a drake, and the best armor tank of all the tier 2 BC. Balance?ö
So one broken Gallante ship means all Gallante ships have to suffer and lose passive shield tanking? As I said before for over 3 years Gallante has better passive shield tanks then Caldari so why is it wrong there new line of ships the myrm keeps this tradition?
Perhaps the Myrm does need a nerf but it doesnt mean the rest of Gallante ships need nerfing.
