Is this the dumbing down of eve can someone shed light on this. Will armor resitance automaticly increase from the type of damage hitting it?

Also anyone else thing the small and medium webs will kill the the effectivness of the Vaga

You know, you could come up with all kinds of cool and mysterious explanations and reasoning or... you could just take the logical route and realise it's an "invulnerability field" for armor, so an active EANM with better resists. But that would ofcourse be way too logical and simple, right?

finally armor is being brought into line with shields and there invulnerability field hardeners..
About dog damn ******* time, good bye drakes.

shields never had EANMs, just as an FYI.

capless omni resist? oh **** yes.

So for pvp you'll happily bring a drake with 2 "shield EANM" instead of 2 invuls?

Ok.

not really happy about that...which race has the most armor tank ships?

<---Amarr

and which race can't change damage type with their lazors?

<---Amarr


we will see what will happen :) maybe no one will use them :)

Sounds like this is a slight Minmatar (and to some extent Caldari) nerf for solo PvP. Reduces their ability to change damage type to suit targets. Probably a good thing.

First the projectiles/rail/blaster/lasers fire EM rounds... then the missile boats hit with Kinetic right after. Ouch.

Having tested it on SiSi, it's safe to say that it's essentially useless for PvP. And really for PvE if you know what you're doing.

I see this as being a mod designed for doing PvE missions, so you don't have to keep switching out specific hardeners each time you run a new mission. It makes your fit less specialized and more universally adaptive.

I wonder what happens if say, a drake fires its grouped missiles, with one of each type loaded 1 2 3 4 1 2 3? I dunno if you an actually do that, I've never tried, but if you can't ungroup them. The question still remains.

It would be nicer, once the cycle time are better known,to do something like this: shoot main target with main weapons, lock another target and shoot it with an odd weapon (like a light em missile), wait till the hardener has completely switched to em and then switch target and hit him with the main weapons (charged with exp).

Tricky to pull off but could be cool; if the target was buffer tanked and only used one of these as hardeners then he has 0% exp resistance.

No, it means that we can be sure that they are currently almost useless for PvP. What they will be is the part that's uncertain to some degree.
