Unless some more mechanics have changed, plates and added mass in general shouldn't affect max speed - only agility.

It doesn't affect base speed, but it does affect max speed with a prop mod. Less weight = more speed boost.

Training Gallente hulls now, so many fun ships to fly with these changes.

This. It's why oversized prop mods act like un-scrammable MWDs of the proper size.

i agree would have prefered the AARs to use cap boosters...not sure who suggested the idea of nanite paste, probably someone with a large cut of the market in that area.

I believe this may be my fault, albeit indirectly and unintentionally. Ever since I described the function of armor reps as employing a sort of nanite paste for their basic functions in this story, I've noticed similar descriptions popping up in game.

Naturally I CLAIM ALL CREDIT.

This great skin of tungsten was not entirely a solid mass; rather, it was criss-crossed and channelled like the circulatory system of a great living beast - through these conduits and capillaries flowed trillions upon trillions of self-assembling armour regeneration nanites, the metal-breathing robotic life-blood of all such armoured goliaths. Just as the platelets which seal a laceration inflicted upon human tissue, this swarm of metallivorous locusts rush to the site of blasts and gouges torn from the warship’s carapace in battle, bleeding forth and filling the cavities with their microscopic interlocking bodies, finally to form new capillary channels for fresh nanites to traverse as their last selfless act before deactivating into inert metal.

THAT'S Where I read that shit!

I was never able to find it again.

I prefer paste.  Cap booster-based ancillary reppers are limited to ~2 reloads given the standard size of most cargo holds.  You can carry ridiculous amounts of paste, however, making the AARs better for sustained solo roaming.  ASBs require you to stop and buy cap charges after every fight.
