Minmatar tried armor tanking, but the bailing wire kept breaking, causing the the pieces to fall and ripping up the duct tape patching up the holes and hence cause them to loose all of their oxygen.
Now they sheild tank, were all they need is a stolen car battery and some wire hangers. |

Because duct-taping a shield emitter salvaged from a busted Drake laying on the side of the space-highway is easier than getting the damn thing plated. Is it Hotdrop O'Clock yet?

... because Eve Online has no classification for 'duct tape tanking' so they just file it under 'shield' for laziness' sake.

I could have sworn duct-tape tanking was listed as "pre-Kronos hull tanking". |

Maybe.

Zimmy Zeta wrote:Jenn aSide wrote:Reaver Glitterstim wrote:Answer #1:) how do you think the ship stays in one piece? With physical braces? HA!
Answer #2:) because their engineers are clearly incompetent at armor tanking or hull tanking!
Answer #3:) they don't actually have shields, but the failing electronics create a static field that makes it difficult for ammunition to get past!
Answer #4 (from Yang Aurilen):) Because they see that Caldari shields are clearly better than Armarr tanking and Gayllente hull tanking. Clearly, Minmatar absolutely fail at mimicking the efforts of a people who perform labor. To be honest, Minmatar (former slaves with lower tech ships and projectile weapons) probably should have been armor tankers where as Amarr (the slavers with their badass high tech laz0rs and such) probably should have been the ones with a choice of shields or armor. But screw the lore anyways lol. I think the initial idea was that Minmatar were supposed to be salvagers and tinkerers who just threw everything they could find together and somehow turned it into spaceships, thus different tanking styles and (in the past) often split weapon systems. Thinking about it, wouldn't it be nice if Minmatar ships had more calibration points or even one additional rigging slot to reflect their very nature as jury-rigged, improvised spacebuggies?
Wouldn't it be nice if we were older?
Then we wouldnt have to wait so long.

Sorry for nitpicking.. but the armor of a wolf is made of fernite carbide, not tungsten.
Tungsten armor is used on the mobile subjugation vessels of your Amarrian oppressors. I'd like to apologize for the poor quality of the post above and sincerely hope you didn't waste your time reading it. Yes, I do feel bad about it.

Because our ships are "mostly" space worthy. right out the Thukker Mix ship yards you could expect several hull breaches, missing rivets, missing plates and airlocks. So stolen shielding systems we're installed to hold the in the atmosphere. unfortunately this exacerbates the chrome and zinc shortages in Matari space so the ships rust in their air bubbles.
at least this is the only rational explanation I have for why Matari ships are rusty, it's not like space has lots of oxidizer sitting around.
serous answers
out side of the ships that are explicitly in the game for ASB monster tanks they really don't. cruisers and BC's get a two slot tank at best. frigs and desies may not even get one. the battleships are just way too derpy ATM. Prop mods are our tanks |
