Armor and Structure, as the above poster confirmed.
I, personally, think, that sleepers (or whoever created them, actually), noticed, that armor performs much better in combat than shields and have decided to scrap the shield generators altogether in favor of stronger armor plating and/or more nanite pumps to keep the armor repaired. And to use the energy required to run shields somewhere else, like for bigger weapons. Armor needs energy only to repair it, but shields impose constant drain on ship's powergrid and reactor (invisible to capsuleer pilot, because it is handled automatically, yet certain modules suggest the link between those two, namely SPR and CPR modules).

Obviously they're armor + hull only and have higher than normal resists - have missile and lazor bonuses - it's like super amarr
we should really be able to have them as some t2.5 ships :) I'm pretty sure that reverse engineered sleeper ships are called Strategic Cruisers. This. Sleeper ships per se also cannot be piloted by pod pilots simply because they all are drones. I.e. unmanned spacecraft without any life support whatsoever.
we dont need life support thats what your egg is for |
