First off, in a hope to Fix the Sheild "should be resupplied by suppies" thing
What if we had a Function to the sheild that it can Stop protecting the ship at all, and Give a 2x or 3x regeneration bonus,
Makes sens,e the gen still draws power but doesn't protect the ship, also someone bright eneough wil lower the sheilds when there down, and reactivate them when there hull is going critical
Also why dont we had a Tier 2 epgrade to the palts, like an upgraded Supply plats would yeild an extra Reload drones, Or a Weapons plat would yeild Added canons/missiles or an extra core weap

We don't want shields repaired by repair drones, that's simply why it's not in already.
As far as platforms go, we still need to work on the ones we currently have, instead of adding more.

Idem Dito.
ICC has already a high recharge rate on there shields, this is so they can stay longer in a battle. in addition to shield rotation they have a defence bonus when fighting a enemy from a single direction.
UGTO has armor and it repairs slow, they need supply's, rep platforms or planet depo's to be able to repair there armor faster. forcing them to temporarily retreat or at least have support units close by. compaired to icc they have a defence bonus when fighting enemy's from multiple directions but are weak against a sustained assault on a single facing.
As said above we are currently looking a platforms, and all of there usage.
And always are re-evaluating the situation around defence (armor/shield) repair rates. but at the moment we haven't found that icc needs a external boost to shield repair. Should there be a need platforms could be used but we have more options available.
ok what was i saying again? i lost track what i was trying to say.
errrr.

Well, there is the fact that ships with armor can have an fair amount of automated repair (around planets, platforms) and can reach a point where armor regens faster than shields. Is this intended?

i dont want to give them an external way to regen sheild, but rather a different way that invovles scraficing your sheild protection for faster regen
THe sheild would Draw power from the ship, but it wouldn't not protect the ship AT ALL, for the bonus of faster regen, added that, it would invovle a new complicated way to remain even longer in battle
I only suggested this cuz i kept hearing ICC "Its doran faults to have made SHeild like that" as if they dont like it lol
As for plat, I never knew the current plats arn't finish, aside the actual size that change, its been a , long while i never seen then change, correct me if im wrong
ANd it snot about adding more plats, its avbout adding an option to the current plat,
Say you build a Supply plat for 3000 res, it has 1 reload drones, Maybe THen give an option for engies, to "Upgrade" that very same plat into a better version with 2 reload drones for 3500 res
Oh wait this gave me a new idea
You build a Weapon plat, From there you have different choice for engies to Upgrade the plat into specialized Form, like Missile plat or Beam plat,
HOwever, Your point is taken, i jsut wanted to share what i had in mind
