Player Features and Ideas Discussion

so - I often hear that resistance bonuses for caldari/amarr are too useful - good for buffer, good for remote logi coming in, good for local reps

however, this doesn't compare favourably with the local reps bonuses for minmatar/gallente

my suggestion, and I accept that it is late, and I have not thought it through completely, is thus

amarr and caldari ships currently getting bonuses to resists get instead a bonus to raw armour/shield hp (excluding heavy dictors and any other ships where all 4 races get the same resist bonuses)

basically - they already have more slots in their chosen tank-zone (low/mid) than any other race, and if they're not using it for a local rep, so this shouldn't hurt too much

adds a little more variance into the ship line, and also buffs caldari passive tanking slightly.

EDIT:

go on F&I, rip me a new one ;-)

but that still doesn't resolve the ubiquitousness (is that even a word, that makes them work in ANY engagement, not just fleet fights)

EDIT: I would like to see 5% resist bonuses reintroduced on hics and exhumers, and maybe give titans of all races a resist bonus to both armour and shield (as they are supposed to be the flagship of a fleet)
