Its armor for shields! The Reactive Shield Hardner is a concept module which works similar to the reactive armor hardner. When shot by damage types, it will spread its hardner levels and balances them out in accordance with the new damage that has laid upon your ship, exactly like the reactive armor hardner.
Resists
The resistance for such a module would be very similar to the armor hardners - 15 Percent across the board for all damage types. This would be because we want a fair and balance module to suggest for all fields of gameplay and nothing crazy out of it.
Description
This is a lol add-on for anyone who loves to â– â– â– â– on King Amaarian for my dumbass antics and titan losses that make some of you want to stop playing eve. PREPARE FOR â– â– â– â– â– â– â– â– !
“The Reactive Shield Hardner was originally designed by King Amaarian after the loss of the valued Alzyan, an Gallente Erebus-class titan used for bridging. Its purpose is to protect the shield and manipulate it into reacting to the specific damage types that are fired into the ship, allowing more protection wherever you go.”
Discussion
I am not one for really putting full paragraphs of ideas like Gideon or other CSM candidates are, just an idea I thought I’d throw in so CCP could make the armor vs shield more fair.
Have fun talking about this and do tell me if you think it’d be a fair mechanic to the game, I would really like to contribute to the success of this game and maybe one day work for CCP.
There is, or at least we used to have, some capital-ship module that was adjacent to the proposed module.
CCP said they would watch closely if people would use it, but most people didn’t, so they didn’t iterate on a feature, that would not be used to and made different use of their time.
We do have the capital Shield Hardner but I am referring for sub capitals, that way shield warfare for caldari or minimatar or your favorite shield doctrine would be more interesting.
For such a module to be useful for subcaps it would either be too powerful right away or completely useless.
We already have links and the adaptive invulnerability field mod, that you can overheat for a very long time without having to be extra-careful.
so sad, there is one of the few things that CCP has done right in mechanics design choices (aka making shield and armor really different at some key aspects) and people want to “fix” it by making it all the same. It hurts.
