Nice to see that the Human Condition is stronger than reason within this thread, (Umra Scoffs). So lets brake this down, Caldari ships are the shield tanking specialists, Ammar are the Armor tanking specialists, Galintee are the Armor could be better thinks there could be some shield tanking specialists, and Minnimatar and both but better at armor. Caldari have the slowest ships and Ammar have the fastest, yes it is true, 15m/s faster intercepter all L5 skills, faction mods, and implants than the Minamatar. Not much but it is faster. Now think about this "armor". Wear a suit of armor and run around for awhile, then get a shield generator "theory" and do the same. A shield generator for one would weigh less that the suit of armor and be much more effective in repelling an attack. Armor is solid matter, a shield is energy, the armor might take a beating for awhile until you have to use new material to repair it, and nanites do this for armor tankers, they recombine the damaged molecular structures of matter. Tell me that the Ammarains have this magical matter energy converter that replaces damaged sections of there ships in a matter of seconds, because you would need trillions and trillions for these nanites to repair even the smallest of ships, and nanites have a finite life span and much less can't endure the riggers of space nor active combat for that matter, otherwise we would only have to fly swarms of nanites instead of ships and demolecularize are enemy's. Shields only need energy and some advanced physics to be quite invulnerable, as long as you had enough energy to sustain the shield grid while being hit with destructive forms of energy (lasers, accelerated projectiles, and explosives) shields should be quite superior in the realm of combat, However this is very backward in this game. Shield should also have the ability to repel and/or reduce the effectiveness of forms of EW such as Nutes, Nos, Jams, and Scrams at the very least. Those are forms of energy that a wall of focused energy would have no problem blocking. This would definatly level the playing field for PvP in this grate game called Eve for the Caldari race. Shield are the only thing that Caldari have that is better than any other race ability to do the same, because every race can use a Caldari specialized weapon group just as well "the Missile" so caldari get shafted on that one, the Huggen for example, I have seen this ship only fitted with cruse or torps not their specialized weapon group the projectile turret, and there very effective too. this ability should be limited to Caldari ships, other races should have no more than 1 or 2 launcher hard points, if any at all. So think logically about the derived theories of the questionable game mechanics to what is and has true potential of working within reason. END OF LINE
