Originally by: Pottsey SPRÆs should not be nerfed its unfair for Gallente ships and SPRÆs already have a high penalty. The only thing that might need nerfing are shield extenders
wait what? unfair to Gallente? SPRs shouldn't even be considered for Gallente ship fittings outside of a few specialty setups. You're not supposed to passive shield tank those ships, period, so how is it "unfair" to Gallente? It's not like a proper armor tanked blaster/drone boat isn't powerful enough as it is, I don't quite get what makes you think you need a super strong tank added to far superior mobility, firepower and versatility (compared to the ships intended for such a tank), sorry.
Originally by: Leandro Salazar (yes no matter how much you fly and love it the passive shieldtank of the drake is ALSO overpowered even after the mild nerf, which is exactly the reason WHY you love it so much, so this would be good).
passive shield tanks on shield tanking (gasp) ships are a non-issue because it directly competes with the gank these ships can field - until you start stuffing mids intended for cap mods/EW/tackle gear with shield extenders and lows intended for armor tanking with SPRs an still have enough "slots" and grid for a full damage fit from your bonused weapon system
how is the Drake overpowered? Because it can tank well? It won't hurt, it won't tackle, it's slow and as agile as a brick, I just don't see an issue there, and the same goes for Vulture and Nighthawk. The passive shield tanked Myrm needs a big fat nerf, but that's because the Myrm is a failed, overpowered design that should never have made it to TQ in its current form. But even though I don't fly either of them, I don't see how passive shield tanked *shield tankers* with comparatively low DPS are as out of whack as you imply. ---------- KEEP TRY!!!

Originally by: Pottsey ôOh sheesh indeed. The problem is that you *cannot* shield tank and run ewar/tackle/utility. Armor tanking can do this - and this provides the ability to tank "infinite" DPS.ö To counter you cannot amour tank and use damage mod and other low slots modules.
ôStill that a passive shieldtank is stronger than an active armortank on an armorbonused ship rubs the wrong way with me.ö ItÆs a dual tank ship. Just because itÆs got an amour bonus doesnÆt mean itÆs only meant to amour tank. IsnÆt the Myrm the baby brother of a Domi? If its truly based on the domi like most people say then it is ment to passive tank and amour tank. All drone ships are made to be dual tank ship. Gallate should have best passive tank's and thats just how it is. I do not see anything wrong with the current system. Well unhappy with the shield extender and shield recarger change they could do we being tweaked a little.
where do you have that "dual tank" idea from? just because it works? newsflash, things which work/are possible aren't inherently intended, let alone balanced
or maybe I just failed "game balance 101" because I clearly missed something when the "bestest damage of all" race is also supposed to have the best options for tanking with your precious passive shield tanks as well as active armor tanks wit bonuses. No, really.
hint: Amarr aren't an active shield tank race just because at one point you could fit an nber tank with CPRs and shield boosters ---------- KEEP TRY!!!
