Let's see a nice and pretty skill : Kinetic Shield Compensation

Open http://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/Kinetic_Shield_Compensation
The description is still old:
"
Kinetic Shield Compensation To active shield hardeners: 3% bonus per skill level to Shield Kinetic resistance when the modules are not active
To passive shield hardeners: 5% bonus per skill level to Shield Kinetic resistance
"
But the effect to not active modules in not there in effects already, and in-game description is:
"5% bonus to kinetic resistance per level for Shield Amplifiers"

Now, I can't find it in the Odyssey patchnotes, was it done before, maybe?

But I'd say not knowing this already cost us 1 tengu, when capped-out it died much faster then it would do before.

UPDATE: Actually an old story: https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=198672 Strange we didn't bump into this effect before.

Active armor hardeners and shield hardeners no longer give a passive resistance bonus when not active.

Post #12, dev posted why. I didnt look for patch notes, just forum threads and thats the first I found relevant in 2 minutes of google. So sometime in/around January this happened.

I could guess the 5% to 4% resistance nerf was more the cause, then if your active hardener was off.

With the increase in shiptoasting, the Report timer needs to be shortened.

Damn that (( The bonus was very nice when you got capped-out by a bunch of sleepers. Though it was a new change.

No, tengus usually use shield amount, not resist subsystem, so that damn nerf didn't affect them.
