I think that almost anyone will agree that Shield Flux Coils are the most useless modules in EVE. I have literally never seen them on a single ship, not even on failfits that make us lose faith in humanity. My suggestion for their improvement is to replace the shield recharge bonus with a reduction to shield booster duration. If CCP doesn't like this idea, and doesn't have a better one then I ask them to replace all Shield Flux Coils with Shield Power Relays of the same metalevel during one of the downtimes.

Workarounds are not bugfixes.

or reduce cap need of normal shield boosters

T3's need to be versatile so no rigs are necessary ... they should not have OP dps and tank

ABC's should be T2, remove drone assist, separate HAM's and Torps range, -3 HS for droneboats

Reduce Speed instead decrease Shield cap.

Passiv Shield Tanks have to be slow.

Because shield boosters aren't popular enough yet

Shield flux are pretty useless in their current state... They could use some work.

That's a decent idea. One other idea would be to have them reduce the cap use of shield boosters in exchange for reduced shield HP, although this would probably make pve shield tanking even more OP than it currently is.

I think it just needs the values changed, it should be more effective for more drawback
right now a fully recharge fit rattler with shield power relays tanks 1916dps(omni) has 15min cap live 29063 shield HP, 476,66hp/s recharge
with shield flux coils its only 1184dps(omni) cap stable 10961 shield HP 294,45hp/s

that's just such a huge difference in tank, if it was ~5000hp with the same or slightly less recharge then the shield power relay fit, it would have a place I think

I will second changing values. They should either improve the recharge more, or maybe also decrease sig as they decrease buffer.

Once ships have been rebalanced the modules are probably going to receive a damn good looking at and we are predicting "metacide" to occur. Modules will become Role Specific instead of power specific.

The future of modules is interesting as you have stated. Some modules are completely useless and others overpowered. We just need to wait for ship balancing to be complete.
