You'll get 3-4 on your uber tank setup, and while nobody will break your tank easily, you won't be breaking theirs either.ö You just answer why we donÆt use a Vulture a tank that can do nothing else is useless. ThatÆs why I like my Eos great tank and great DPS. Same for the Nighthawk much better DPS over a Vulture.
Akita T is right the command ships do work. I have me setup a little different as I only fight serps that do kin + thermal also itÆs a fleet not field but thereÆs not much difference tanking wise. Here is my current PvE setup http://www.dissonance-corp.com/screenshots/passiveshieldtankeosmk8.JPG without rigs and its pretty much 100% passive apart from the mid slot archaeology module and high slot modules. Still got some tweaking to go yet, I reckon I can get a lot more of out it without rigs. ItÆs pretty good considering its immune to Nos/cap drain and not every single slot is used for tanking. If your doing PvP you could always swap the archaeology module for a passive EM hardener.
EDIT: With 95% resistance and 14k hitpoints half the time I donÆt even need the passive HP regen.
ôSo, it's kind of arguable wether or not the SPR IIs can actually be invented, but unless somebody actually tries with the proper components and still gets an error message, I can safely assume they are "ok to go".ö I donÆt know about now after the patch but you get an error message per patch.

Edited by: Pottsey on 07/12/2006 07:18:46 ôThat's not really true. The setup listed above with the 3 extenders, full lows of SPRS...etc, does not fit with a full rack of t2 launchers. I dont believe a full rack of Malkuth heavies fit either (dont have 6 to check with).ö 5 easy ways to fix that. Either use Cosmos extenders, or named extenders, or shield rechargers or use the 5% less powergrid implant that assuming you need to do any of that with the 25% less PG needed from skills. The 5th way is like you say use an extra PDS its not that bad you still get a great tank. What about advanced weapons upgrades as well?

EDIT: Also Akita T was using 4x Shield Power Relay II which boost PG.

ItÆs a bonus not penalty if you look at PDS and Aux reactor they also got a û symbol. As far as I can recall itÆs always been 10%. Passive shield tanking guide click here |

ôThat's just plain silly. T1 BCs are now much better choices unless you absolutely need the better resists on T2s.ö No way, T2 have much better tanks more then x3 better and they donÆt cost much more. My Eos is cheap and way better then my Brutix.
