Vast numbers he says. List them, he does not.

Except that it's a module you literally never want to turn off, you have to turn it on every damn time you jump, it's more or less impossible to shut if off with neuts because of 1 cap use and like I quoted, it was supposed to be passive to begin with. Oh and it makes it possible to see EHP in station

Yes. So does every other passive hardener, and even active ones with skills too. Your point being?

You mean, like fitting the ship before undocking?

Now I'm sure Andski is scrambling trying to find a way to convince us Tuxford and the other programmers meant they wanted the DC to be an active module the whole time, but there is no way that is implied at all in what he said. It is implied they wanted it to be passive, but was impossible to program it that way at the time.

Do you really find it that much of a reward, having to activate this module so much? Or maybe you only stay in one system ever, and never jump? It's an extra click, and it's unnecessary. If a pilot forgets to activate it, he would have lost the fight none the less imo.

Hardeners and other such modules use quite a bit of capacitor and so there is a good reason to allow the pilot to choose to activate them or not. So a bit of a stupid suggestion there to be honest.
