Clearly, something is missing for armour.


Shields are using meds, it's far more difficult to have a large buffer with shields, they have theircounterparts too.

Things are good as they are actually.

It makes some sense on paper. The two main armor tanking races (Gallente & Amarr) have the weapons that use the most cap. Logically it would make sense to compensate for that cap instability by creating a passive tank.

Though I'm not sure how it would work in practice.
