Good day all i was advised by a rather helpful GM Mace (which i know is a shock)

But yes i want to fined out if ccp are going to change the ships or module types for sansha as the ships are shield yet the modules are armor related how does that figure out,

so comment or add to this topic and lets see if ccp will change minor details to make people happy as personally some times like the idea of having modules match the ship

Back in the old, old, OLD days Sansha ships used to be armor tankers. I believe the generic, non-Incursion NPCs still armor tank to this day.

The modules and implants they drop haven't changed because they are so coveted and/or widely used.

How did you Veterans start?

i do remember this but why not change the sansha bonus from shield to armor to match the old ways it used to be fit or switch out sansha mods to shield mod is my thinking

Switching player-usable Sansha ships back to to armor tankers is an option... but then again we already have a bunch of "armor tanking" pirate factions.
People who prefer shield tanking deserve some variety too.
And before you say, "well create a new faction for shield tankers" I ask you to take a look at the work that goes into making a new "Faction."
- New artwork
- New lore
- New Loyalty Point stores
- New loot tables
- Another thing to add to the rebalancing table when it comes up
- Balancing in general without stepping on the toes of other factions
- Development time going into all of the above at the cost of other things

Making a new Faction is not as simple as it seems.
Don't get me wrong... we may get more Pirate Factions in the future... but it is never as easy as people seem to think it is.


As for switching the mods and equipment that drops to be more "shield oriented"... unfortunately you are talking about A LOT of mods that people do use on a daily basis.
Slave Implant sets are a big one and are used by many, many pilots from frigate to capital warfare. Imagine the outcry when the billion+ ISK implant sets can't be used the same way they could be used before (and not like a mere ship rebalance, which simply requires some tinkering and modifications of tactics... changing something like that from armor to shields is a HUGE paradigm shift that affects every level of combat).


And all this because of some "flavor disconnect" issue which few people outside of lore purists care about.

The short answer is yes, they will.

Capitals for all pirate factions are in the works, but I would assume one or 2 sets a year. So a fair while before they all will be in the game.
