If you are an assault or medic who wants to be fast then hardplate armor (especially the vest) would be a horrible idea, unless you want to sacrifice 20% of your movement speed for protection. However, if you have a very high movement speed, then you can equip it without risking a necrosis catching up to you. Heavies will find Hardplate armor more useful than other classes, since they have Heavy gear, wich can completely negate movement penalties.
