I really don't mind the ASB, It seems pretty overpowered at this point, but whatever. My desire is that we get an armor version of it to at least balance things out. It's bad enough everything was already shield tanked, now even the active tanks favor shields.

Glorious active shield master race

Dirty active armor peasants

Yes, because we all know what a wonderful idea shield slave sets would be coupled with shield regen.

Also, not enough drakes in the game atm. And we should have even stronger brick leviathans and wyverns.

Hey look at this, the top 2 - and 6 of the top 20. Look at dem drakes http://eve-kill.net/?a=top20 They need a ******* buff. Lets make it to 4 and then 5 times the second place ship (which btw is the tengu).

Get out of 2009. Caldari has no problems atm. And would even be fine after the drake nerf with 5 other ships in the top 20. Still better than amarr. So in short, you're wrong.

edit- and just because I know you will make this mistake in reading my post and jump at the chance to post further dren - no I am not under the illusion that people regen fit their pvp drakes. but their buffer drakes, tengus, rohks, etc need no buff from shield slaves even of a lg variety, especially coupled with asb.

Ancillary Shield Booster is not a form of active tanking imo, because of the reload time. It's a delayed buffer. And as such, the Crystal set is the shield equivalent of Slave set.

Then limit the number of max ASB fitted at the same time, like in the tournament.

I'm not against to have the version of this module for armor, but we would then need to have a shield resistance adapter. (Or whatever it's name would be)

the ASB IS for armor tanks. How has no one figured this out yet?

Lets say your capped out your armor tank and your going down, Pop on the ASB, and you get capless shield regen at crazy speed. Then when it turns off, you've got a full battery of cap and a full armor tank ready.

why do you think you've been seeing dual tank set ups recently slowly?

right so slap a ASB to your ship, and run it as you close distance. you're shield can't be broken when in that mode even on an armor ship. it cost you no cap, and when your in range you turn on your armor reps. I think that's more hp overall than an extra web would help.

Making one thing even more superior over another does a much better job of destroying diversity.


Why not? It worked hilariously well in that one match in the AT.

it's not superior, only different. You wouldn't fit ASBs for fleet fights, and you wouldn't fly a plated BS for missions. Just because something is better for what YOU want to do, doesn't make it superior.

Not every race should be able to use every tactic. That would defeat the very purpose of having the races. They each excel in their own way, and the point is to use them in the way they were meant to be used, rather than slinging a decent fit on the wrong ship, and then claiming the ship/race is broken.

Drakes can rack up ridiculous passive tanks. Passive tanks = buffer tanks that actually have some survivability. Doesn't matter if you're buffered, a frig gang can kill any buffer fit ships - passive DPS tanks, on the other hand, can hold out until kingdom come. They're active tanks without the capacitor use.

I fully support an ASB for armour.
