I never tested the above out but it seems to me a passive tank can live longer then an active tank against gank setups with high damage mods and the passive tank can take the same damage mods.
The theory would be that the winner in a fast 1 vs 1 is the one that deal more damage than the other can take. "Fast" here means that there is no significant amount of repaired/boosted/regenerated hp during the fight. The "theory" here is obvious, however you can say it in another way... and the other way might sound less obvious.
The fight ends at time t1, where t1=(the total hp of the loser)/the dps of the winner.
you can factor hardening and damage types, but the logic doesn't change. As both setup will be such as to counter the other by giving the less hardened damage while hardening the damage taken, it doesn't really make sence to try to factor different hardening setups in such a comparison. IMO, the only meaningfull way is to compute total hp as (lesser resist)*total hp of shield + (lesser resist)*total hp of armor + total hp of hull, granted that you can change the "lesser resist" with hardeners.
The time t2 would be the other hp/dps ratio, and time t2 > time t1. Twisting the numbers, (total hp of winner * dps of winner) > (total hp of loser * dps of loser).
You can define a variable which will tell you which ship wins such a fight: it's total hp * dps. The winner in such a fight is the one with the highest product. Somebody with more knowledge of the numbers (dps and total hp) could compute the products for a comparison of ships. I'll have a go at it with the numbers in this thread.
1. shield of dominix with extenders and 2 shield hardeners (em & therm): 28k hitpoints (similar to "hull hitpoints")
2. dps of dominix: unknown
3. total hp of gankageddon: 10k hitpoints (similar to "hull hitpoints")
4. dps of gankageddon: 1k dps
The gankgeddon has a product of 10k hitpoints * 1k dps = 10m
The dominix should do around 10m/28k = 360 dps to win the fight. Heavy drones alone already do 1/3 of that. I've no idea about what could the guns do as i don't fly a dominix, but probably enough because of the available low slots. [wrong number, edited]
The fight would last around 30 seconds [wrong number, edited]
I hope that i got it right... Of course, such a fight would not occur but it should give a theoretical picture of it.
