Hey - not sure if this has been posted before or if it's completely exploitable but wanted to throw an idea out there.....Mixing tanks has always been as popular as not bringing condoms to a papal visit, so...

Ancillary boosters that repair a % of total shields rather a raw amount.

Anyway would like to challenge the EFT wizards....what's the best % tank you can come up with and is this a viable change to the ASBs?

Stay hard,

You mean something like this:

[Rupture, ASB tester]

4x Republic Fleet 220mm Autocannon (Republic Fleet EMP M)

X-Large Ancillary Shield Booster (Navy Cap Booster 400)
2x Pith B-Type Shield Boost Amplifier
Domination Adaptive Invulnerability Field

Damage Control II
2x Republic Fleet Gyrostabilizer
2x Republic Fleet Tracking Enhancer

Medium Anti-EM Screen Reinforcer II
2x Medium Processor Overclocking Unit I

Total shield 1875hp
Total repair or 1880hp per cycle or 104% of shields every cycle.
Of course a set of crystals changes that to 2889hp per cycle or a little over 200% total shields every cycle. Which of course would be alot of waste.

Is that what you were thinking of?

No sorry Goldiiee - what I mean is this.

You have 24k raw shield hit points. The ASB repairs 15% of your total shield hit points per cycle, which would rep 3600 shield EHP. So by adding more buffer you get more effectiveness from the ASB.

Currently I think a LASB reps 390 shield EHP at base value, (nb my figures above are arbitrary). So if you sacrificed on the "dual ASB", "AASB/LSB" fits - and made them mixed tanks repping a % of raw total EHP would potentially another viable tank type. Plus it could give more time through the "reload" cycle.

If that isn't clear maybe I'll wait til I sober up before defining :)

Ciao,

I think I understand where your going. I will give it a night to stew in the brain and see what I can come up with. But with that much dedication to tank and buffer the idea of putting any offense or tackle on something is pretty difficult.

KK let's keep it sub cap - and limit of 1 per ship like the AAB.

Sorry for the lack on clarity folks.

LOL to get the numbers , not to use, anything less than faction lows and deadspace mids would cause a cpu problem. So I dont asssume anyone would fly it, let alone undock it.

Well actually I might. :)

I assume that is like the XL Pulse Abaddon, in that you can't actually undock it. Otherwise....brb....

Why.

And did you just butcher that metaphor or am I a turkey?

There's nothing worse than an EVE player, generally considered to be top of the food chain in the MMO world, that cannot smacktalk with wit and coherency.
