Fix Large shield extenders. They are far more powerful and should be adjusted for ship classes. A hurricane with a great passive tank of 2 x LSE is not a fair setup. I think a new module should be introduced, called Xlarge shield extender, and HP bonus adjusted accordingly to ship that it fits on.


This is how an extender size should fit each ship class:

Frigate: micro shield extender
Destroyet: small shield extender
Cruiser : medium shield extender
Battlecruiser: large shield extender
Battleship: Xlarge shield extender

The current setup:
Micro -- wtf... are these actually in the game still.... I think they are legacy...
Small -- not worth fitting.
Medium -- For frigs and destroyers.
Large -- For Cruisers, BCs, and BS...

As for Plates:
200 or 400 mm, Frigs and dessies.
800 or 1600 mm, Cruisers...
1600, Cruisers, BCs, and BSs...

Put in that context, the LSE's seem to be in the right position... Although a full rebalancing to make 50 & 100 mm plates as well as small shield extenders worth something is reasonable...

So..... you got your butt handed to you by a hurricane. Instead of changing your tactics, you come to the forums and plead with CCP to change the game in a futile effort to make up for your individual shortcomings?

Yeah, i thought so. LSE's are fine.

Great argument, you do that often ?

Yeah. I thought so. You are dumb.

This illustrates while sizes between armor and shield are balanced, the size scale is obviously not related to the ship, and each ship uses a size a bit larger than the official size
