Whilst the 60 seconds is appropriate for the ASB as it can be dualtanked and so one booster can last for as long as the other's reload time, it seems far too long for some ship classes on a single repairer. On all fits I've tested, you can only really get a mediocre buffer and a mediocre burst tank with one repairer - and on anything smaller than a battleship, once that reload begins you're going to have some serious trouble staying alive until it's fully reloaded. Add into the mix the slow cycle time and even if you get that reload, you may not get the needed repairs before the pop.

THEREFORE:

Wouldn't it make more sense to reduce the reload time by the size of the repairer?

Battleships should be fine at 60 seconds due to the buffers they can sport, but cruisers/strategic cruisers really struggle to stay alive even with a high-resist buffer during the reload. Wouldn't it make more sense to be a 40/30 second reload for these? Maybe 20/15 for frigates?

I agree that 60 second reload time REALLY hinders the AAR into being not that much better than a normal repper



especially since u burn through the charges extremely fast.
in all my experience with the aar so far ive not even dared to let it reload. even without a reload you are on the brink of death most of the time

That's the only way the AAR is anywhere near viable currently. My point being that if CCP want burst tanking as it was intended for, the reloads need to come down.
