Using this rig already nerfs the boat compared with one that does not have that naturally sucking slot layout, in the form of 1 fewer rig slot




this is a case by case thing really.


A common rig on a shield boat could be EM resist rig for caldari. Usually does not fit in the mids after your run the SE(s) or ASB os SB, invul + thermal resist and the rest e-war (to include tackle gear) and prop mod so all slots taken.

So I take this new rig, fit it, take utility high to mid and shoehorn an EM resist module in. I am not nerfed by less 1 slot. One slot for many caldari is almost always a real nice to have is a resist rig. I'd say its almost damn near caldari law to have one on ships (besides drake maybe and I still like it on them too) lol. Whether a real deal resist rig, or this new rig that lets me fit one more mid module to be module based resist the end is the same. Moar resists.

With this new rig I lose nothing. I in fact get buffed nicely. I get 2 bene's from this.

1. The shield rig now a slot changer rig lets me run 1 more module resist to not have sig radius penalty. A small bene but it is there

2. Even a base stat passive resist amp has more resists than the resist rig. I get more resists from this upgrade.


Oh, I forgot a important thing, you can only exchange high slots with turrets or launchers to mid or low. So you lost DPS because you remove a high to mid in your exemple. And then
1. The transfer rigs still have penalty more than normal rigs, although I hope haven’t.
2. The difference is so small, and this can be balanced by the expense.
