* Title: True Passive Armor Regeneration
* Category: Modules
* Description: New modules that use nanobots like a passive armor regeneration system that uses no cap and regenerates hp. Similar to passive shield tanking only its for armor now.
* Goal: To fill the gap between passive shield tanks and armor buffer tanks. Point is, armor isn't passive regenerating, shield tanks have a huge advantage over armor. For example, not only can a drake have a insane buffer tank, it also can have a 1000 DPS tank that is capless or only uses cap for the hardeners.
We need armor to beable to work like this so it is not only similar in buffer tank alone. But so armor tankers aren't left out. Armor NEED's cap for its tank to regenerate, shields don't need cap, and can perma run even with no cap. Armor should be able to do the same to some point.
Armor buffer tanks are just out classed by this fact and active tanks phail in comparison to passive shield tanks. Because they have many advantages armor tanks don't have. What it I want to solo for long periods of time in 0.0. Oh a nighthawk pilot has no prob doing that with 150,000hp and a 1000 DPS passive tank complete with a warp disruptor and a endless supply of energy for its tank. A inv field helps only alittle. The regeneration alone with the base resistances are a 600/800 DPS tank and amps can work fine.
I can't do this with a astarte. I need cap boosters, or cap recharging of some kind. Or live off a 100,000hp buffer tank I can't regenerate unless I dock in a station or have support. A nighthawk can be a solo deep into 0.0 boat until you run out of ammo or are ganked by a blob. When I run out of cap boosters or are neuted my whole tank is gone if I use reps. Why can't I have a similar tank to a nighthawk thats atleast passive for armor but half the tank?
A DPS nighthawk even gets the same DPS and still can have a huge tank. 100,000hp 400/500 DPS tank. You can not tell me a armor tanked idea like this is overpowered when a nighthawk can have 800+ DPS with just 3 BCS damage mods in the low slots and a DC. With a shield buffer tank. It still gets a large advantage when neuted even, it can continue to deliver its DPS and pop the target even before its able to warp away when you have 0 cap, maybe you put down a bubble around a gate and the fight happens inside the bubble.
This can not be done in any other armor tanked ship but a damnation. But that leaves gallente and other armor tanked ships out of this kind of fighting 1vs1? So a curse is the ultimate killer of cap useing ships and I should just fly one of them or fly caldari? No this is why I have a passive ishtar yes its shield tanked because passive tanks are just superior in every way. 800 DPS tanked drone boat FTW. I'm neut proof. LOL Autocannions and drones, gake camping with a medium bubble. Fits the powergrid perfectly. When dual armor reps and medium guns are a joke to fit on a ishtar with its powergrid. Seems like shields where made for it, even better on a myrmidon.
550 DPS gankage, 800 DPS tank, sure I can't move that fast, but you don't need to on a gate camp. Solo or fleeted. They come to you. Good bate ship too. But point is, shields on a ship that uses armor is just wrong maybe a armor rep bonus to a ishtar could replace my passive drone boat? Not really, giving I'm neut proof have 70,000hp and a 800 DPS tank. Main point is, no matter what its on you can make a better shield tank on a armor boat most of the time with enough high slots. Why we need a armor regeneration type of passive mod. There are regenerative energized nano membrains's but why don't they regenerate armor? They only give more hp, thats the job of armor plates, not membrains.
