declined Convert Armadillo module to hull's augment

[KILL_BILL_CHAUHAN 2,505]

Why? 

• Consuming extra protection slot which can be used against remaining  13 turret + mines + grenades damage. 
• Too expensive 
• limited use. Just half the critic damage. ( Can be more useful when it remove negative status effect from critic damage)

Hold on, so are you only suggesting to change it into a hull augment, or are you saying that it could also provide immunity from status effects inflicted by critical shots? If it's the latter, that sounds way too strong for a single hull augment.

Also, the fact that it currently only offers 50% from crits makes it somewhat on-par with the other protection modules, meaning that you don't have to use Armadillo ALL of the time once you get it. I personally use Armadillo by default, but I change my protections often mid-battle based on enemy turrets, and maybe 30% of the time I remove armadillo and use a set of 4 normal modules.

If you dont add any extra hull augment slots, then Armadillo will prevent you from being able to equip any useful immunities or other stuff like Blaster, Miner, Lifeguard. Despite the fact that status effect augments are not as meta as they used to be, there still are plenty of them present in battles. Besides with 16  turrets in game, there will still be plenty of counters to your 4 protection slots anyway, not to mention the ability of enemies to change their equipment, which will just further distract you from having good protection counters. Pick your poison.

My original suggestion is to convert it into hulls augment. But if not that then at least give it some extra ability given it's cost and rarity.

I believe armadillo stands true to the endgame item it represents.

it is something you should really only invest in if you have everything else maxed out, as it gives you only diminishing returns for your investment (compared to other modules or turret/hull upgrades for example). 

And that is how it should be in my opinion.

I can agree the consume of extra spot i would sometimes like to use another prot instead of it so agree about it althought the cost of it is ofc high because the armadillo module is good and it has always been so idk why the complain of it being too high is there since its good so what do you expect something good to be cheap? limited use seriously? ask everyone who already have armadillo maxed out and they will probably tell you they never remove it at all

Converting Armadillo to hull augment? Then what to do with tankers who have spent millions of crystals on upgrading it?

Refund 3/5 portion of it? Just like what Alternativa did to several drones?

yes why not?

[FrozenRailgun 1,771]

I'd say keep Armadillo as it is right now, even if I myself do want such module. Otherwise, it loses its status as an endgame item.

[cybernite 93]

Ya, I spent millions on armadillo and don't like this idea. Also then you can't have a hull status immunity and

that wouldn't be good.

[Muscularity 162]

If that happens, I want compensation since I have it fully upgraded in my main account

No it does not!

With all the OP augments around armadillo is as much use as brutus-useless.

People upgraded this protection and it's the most expensive protection upgrade ever. We got a compensation for drones being converted to augments, so same thing should happen with this special protection
