I think this was the only real way of balancing these modules.
I'm not too fussed, tbh.
I mostly use power diags instead of cap relays.

I guess we can all remove em/heat hardeners now because nobody is going to bother using lasers

Haven't really gotten the hang of fitting my Megathron yet but I'm not sure what kind of damage output you'd get if you armour-tanked it.
May revert back to a Typhoon.

My current Scorpion setup isn't affected by the change to cap relays because I don't use them but I still cant see exactly WHY these modules needed a change.
Does every single module in the game have to have a penalty attached to it?

Also, why does the cap relay change only affect shield boosting?
Why not armour-boosting?

Xl Shield Booster + Shield Boost Amp + Hardener + Hardener + 7Relays + Rails/Projjies = broken.
Why?
Coz of the Cap relays.
Does this 'nerf' fix that?
Why, yes it does.
So to fix amarrians using railguns while having insane tank setups, they've changed something that affects every other ship?
Hmmmm.
Like I said, I'm not too bothered - my shield-tank setup doesn't use cap relays

Is this change to cap relay's in the current patch?
I'm still getting the same stats.

Armour repairers need to have a shorter cycle time or, at the very least, make them repair at the beginning of the cycle. Or please give us a armour repairer amplifier.
On a Megathron, I can fit 2 hardeners, 2 repairers, and enough rcu's to fit some guns but I'm then left with not much cap enhancement :/
Plus, to those ships which require armour-tanking (mega, apoc, typhoon) how about a ship bonus related to armour?

quick note about balance-y things:
If you shield tank, you should not be able to fit *all* your high slots with the most damage dealing weapons your race uses.
If you armor tank, you should not be able to fit *all* your high slots with the most damage dealing weapons your race uses.
If you go for a max damage loadout, your defense should be compromised. And vice versa.
good damage and good tanking should be mutually exclusive.
This is the essence of offensive/defensive balance.
If you are armor tanking your apoc, don't use the biggest lasers you can find.
If you are shield tanking your scorpion, don't try to use 4 425's and two siege launchers.
if you are tanking your megathron, you will *not* be able to fit 7 425's or blasters.
and the same with minmatar/1400's
that's all, thanks for listening.
RE: Scorpion.
Siege launchers don't have a better DOT, do they?

All I'll say is...
Type-E Power Core.

I don't know about anyone else, but if I'm shield-tanking my Scorpion, I don't rely on cap relays anyway.
Mega/Apoc/Arm/Typhoon should all armour-tank as it's more cap-efficient than shield-tanking anyway.
Perhaps power diags should have their cpu needs cut in half? It wouldn't be imbalancing and, in a way, power diags can be just as good as cap relays.

Is that confirmed, BH?
I've noticed I'm getting a lot more wreckings with my 425mm's than usual - I had 4 400+ wreckings in about 30 seconds with my 425's on a Scorp 2 days ago.
