I'll toss out another option/correction. Halada only likes to include what he thinks is the only way to do things and passes off anything he thinks he knows as Gospel.
If you swap out the active hardeners on the Hulk for Dread Passives, and get the shield compensation skill for those speciic times you can get up to 65% resist bonus per passive on your hulk without having to use cap draining actives at all and the fit is exactly the same.
Makes tanking while keeping your upgrades muuuuuuuuuch much better.

Yeah, the Rokh seems to be a great bship possibly better than apoc/domi for a normal tank.
My only prob with battleships is you need cargo boost unless you like to stagger your lasers and empty every 30 seconds which is crazy annoying. So you could get 5 mining upgrades on rokh and shield tank, but might end up with like 3 and 2 cargo boosters?

Yeah, use the mids to shield tank, 8 t2 miners in ups and whatever cpu/mining upgrades/cargo expandersyou might need in lows to boost it all
isntead of like armour tanking in an apoc for example usin yer lows for that.

Turns out the em/thermic etc specific compensation gives a 5% bonus not to your resists but 5% "of" the resists of the specific hardener. In the case of a gurrista, it's about 1-1.5% per point.
Not as good as the actives then, but requires no cap, and as lon gas the tank holds etc. (for hulks)

2 quick things
1: Harvester drones are up to 20 mil because they are a vanishing item. (can't seem to find the right word useage) What I mean is you can't 'get them' new any more. the only one's that exist are theones currently in game. So every time 1 dies, that's 1 lest in circulation.
Given all the math and details and nav skill and bla bla bla though, they're a complete waste of money, and generally people are buying them that aren't doing their homework.
2. As far as hulk tanks. Actually, you can tank just fine with the passive setup I suggested. With the copmensation skills you do end u pwith slightly less resist on your specific resist types but you don't have to go out and tank triple bs spawns.
What I'm generally doing is (on the rare occasion I want to tank with hulk which i normally don't) is just going out, finding medium to small spawns and those tank ok. I wouldn't attempt a triple bs with passives, though not having the extra cap drain from the 2 dread gurrista actives (using dread gurrista passives) you don't have to get your cap skills to 5 with this.
bla, wordy tonight, in short, it'll tank fine, I just wouldn't recommend the 1 mil plus spawns. This is really useful if yer doing the t2 crystal route and staggering, and cutting it real close.
