Next you'll be telling newish players that they should spend real money in order to buy a faction battleship to run incursions with regardless of their skills. If you are going to fly a blinged battleship to run L4s, some of that bling needs to be on tank. With some Pith Cs and a good shield buffer, you make it painful and expensive to gank you, and send the gankers scurrying elsewhere. Highsec isn't nullsec....you just need to survive long enough for your CONCORD allies to show up.
Some of the smarter gankers will scan your ship prior to the gank, and account for the EHP. And fitting more expensive modules on the ship will just make it more likely that you will get ganked. |

We have massively more gank than we need to tears through any rats. The only threat to us is gankers. And nothing we put in the last 2 slots will materially boost shields. So what do we do? Throw in some armor resist mods to nicely boost our armor ehp.
Power diagnostic systems in the low slots give a boost to shield EHP. Guess you are not so elite after all! |

An adaptive nano is gonna give you way more ehp than a crummy 5% pds bonus.
That is true. However, you stated that "nothing we put in the last 2 slots will materially boost shields" which is factually incorrect. |

However, you stated that "nothing we put in the last 2 slots will materially boost shields" which is factually incorrect. Notice the word "materially" - a crummy 5% boost to shield EHP won't do much to deter gankers. Significantly cutting your armor resist holes will.
There are other flaws in your argument. The addition of EHP obtained from the armor resist modules would increase the cost of the gank by a few nados at most. That extra cost would not deter a ganksquad from liberating the purple modules from your carebear ship. |
