Lorth	Posted - 2006.02.27 04:11:00 - [91] I should also mention that since I still don't use any passive cap recharge mods on my ship, you will gain more HP back from shield tanking then you would from armor tanking. And at a fast rate to boot. Which is why, when I fly a ship that can do either, I nearly always try to shield tank

Uh, it's quite equal, the only difference is with armor tanking the shield burns out first without reinforcement, rather than the armor. EDIT: Testy already replied to this, damnit

McDan	Posted - 2006.02.27 05:12:00 - [107] Edited by: McDan on 27/02/2006 05:14:18 Edited by: McDan on 27/02/2006 05:12:29 At the basic levels I would have to say that they are relatively equal. However, even at this level shields are more versatile because they have a natural recharge rate and this can be boosted. Shield boosters also have the added benefit of shield boost amplifiers as well as active hardeners which give an all-round resistance bonus. Shield tanking really comes into its own for advanced players with more ISK because of the introduction of Tech 2 Implants. The Crystal implant set allows for insane tanking capabilities whereas its armour equivalent (The Slave set) only gives a bonus to Armour HP. Another aspect of tanking would be to consider the module load out and its repercussions. A shield tanker can fit to tank as well as fitting damage modules but an armour tanker would have to either choose between the two or find a compromise. Many people will choose one over the other because of the ship/s they use most often. The only case I can think where people choose a ship because of its tanking ability would be mission runners choosing the raven. There are many other aspects and repercussions to consider however these are some of the basics.
