I did not see any particular thread on this, but the way defense enhancements have been changed leaves me a little concerned.
The first problem is that, if these changes go through with release, a lot of players (mostly ICC, since players usually go Defense as opposed to Defense Power, although UGTO/Kluth players with Defense Power will be affected) will have to redo their enhancements, which could be very costly prospect in the long run.
The second problem is that ICC ships are typically divided between Shields and Armor, and that those shields and armor put together are the combined defensive capability of the ICC ship. ICC players are forced to choose between enhancements that affect their armor, and enhancements that affect their shields, with enhancements from one being unable to affect enhancements from another, while UGTO and Kluth players are able to choose enhancements that affect their entire defensive capability (since they do not use shields at all).
It seems like something that did not really need to be changed, with Defense affecting HP and Defense Power affecting regeneration. Perhaps the names/descriptions could have been clarified a bit, but I do not think it needed that kind of change.
