power diagnostic system, goes to low slot

Nope. One of the many differences between shield tanks and armor tanks is that shield buffer mods don't go as high as armor buffer mods. Shield tanks have the invulnerability field, however, as well as ancillary shield boosters; armor has nothing comparable.

I have run into a rather interesting situation. I noticed that rolled tungsten plates go up 1600 nm, yet shield extenders stop at large shield extenders, which are roughly equivalent to 800 nm plate. Large shield extenders are supposed to be for battleships according to Eve wiki, and yet I can fit two of them to a cruiser without any trouble at all. It would be nice if the was a larger size, so I could save a mid-slot on my double large shield extender fit. Are their any ship mods out there that would fit this purpose?

Thanks for the help.

A post suggesting that Armor is superior to shields and that needs to be fixed..


What bizzaro world have i stepped into now?

Real men hull tank.

Well, Taranis pilots, Orca pilots, and maybe some Dominix pilots hull tank. (Seriously, is there a subcapital beyond those three that can actually pull off a hull tank?)

Megathron Navy, Bulkheads II, DC2, and bait away ;)

Am I to understand that shield tanking is preferable to armor tanking whenever possible. I am currently flying Amarr ships, which tend to have plentiful lows and good resist for armor tanking. I happen to be flying an arbitrary and running missions so I have no need for propulsion jamming and ewarfare at the moment, but it seems I may not have the luxury of shield tanking if I need to fit for these functions or a run a different Amarr ship.

Armour tanking works fine for PvE. The two top battleships for PvE are both shield tankers though.

The issues with armour tanking only really matter for PvP, and those issues are usually presented in a manner that is completely one sided and fallacious.

If you want to armour tank for PvE, you will be able to do so and be quite competitive. You just wont be the very tippy-top of min-maxing efficiency.

To the OP: Shields have so many advantages that despite the fact that they only go up to LSEs they're still pretty much on par with armor tanking in buffer fits. This becomes more obvious as you start looking up ship fittings, and notice that, particularly among the smaller ships, anything with more than 3 mids tends to shield tank.

Active tanking is another issue altogether, and shields need a nerf in that area (or better yet armor needs a buff, active tanking has been rather lackluster for a while now)

The comment in regards to buffer fits is simply not true. There are some shield resist bonused hulls that can pull it off against non-resist bonused armour hulls, but as a general rule, armour tanks will have bigger buffers.

175,010 EHP was achieved using an Abaddon, implants and a booster will take this fit to 392,320 WHP.

What's your fit look like for that Abaddon.

Here we go again, the same rubbish, debunked, fallacious arguments as every other thread. Tell you what, I can't be bothered telling you why you're wrong, so you just keep on bleating like the good little sheep you are, and I'll go do something productive with my time.

One example of things young pilots learn in the Royal Amarr Institute, and our other prestigious universities.

The empires of New Eden are poor, and they can't hire lecturers or even tutors, so they are mostly places where they young go to chat about TV series and what they are currently eating, while they work on the local asteroid fields for minimum wage. And repeat memes like parrots, and tell urban myths to each others are raw facts- they heard it on the campus.

Some run meaningless errands for exploiters they call "Agents", who feed them with a drug called "Goldfish". Goldfish causes short-term memory loss and dullness of mind, making it possible for "Agents" to send their victims to rescue the damsel for two hundred times without these poor students realizing that they are just being leeched from their time, social ties and possibilities for career advancement for tiny reward.

Educational system is the basis of any civilized society, and it is in critical state in New Eden.

The navy domi, nightmare, vargur and mach all shield tank (at least if you want them to be any good) and pretty much everything else is meh for missions. This is to be more or less expected though, given that ewar is of little use in pve and damage projection is much more useful.

What are you smoking and more importantly can i have some?

Please provide me with good Navy Domi shieldfit. I have no idea what to do with my omnidirectionals in such a fit. One, two, none. Also not sure what to put in low slots as I don't think a fourth drone damage amplifier is the way to go.

Seriously if anyone in here thinks shields are underpowered you are Incredibly, INCREDIBLY BAD..

Just sayin..
