Here is an (hopefully) original idea:
4 Heavy NOS
2 Heavy Neuts
Scram
2 Large shield extenders
2 invuls
2 1600mm plates
2 EANMs
2 RCUs
1 DCU
Even in this day and age we have people advocating the shield and armor tanking setups.... Yay, go with that setup, and spend alotta time in 0.0. In fact, use all faction and T2 gear, the more expensive the better preferably. I hate crap loot.

Well, I apologize for my rudeness, due to the amazing vaguness of the forums, I have a good laugh at alot of the things found on them. Its truly hard to get a good set-up off these things because everyone has a different amount of skills coupled with the fact we don't know how you fly, who your fighting, or your playing tactics. So, everyone can throw a ton of ideas and set-ups out, but who knows if they'll work.

ôBut with pasive tanks I dont see any reason not to. So please give me some constructive critism why this setup sucks so badly.ö
Why fit a tank that tanks say 50dps on shields and 0dps on amour when you can make one that takes 300dps on shields and has just as many hitpoints as a mixed tank? Due to splitting your tank between amour and shield you will get into a situation where someone breaks the shield tank, then breaks the amour tank while if you focus on 1 method only they might not break the tank. Say someone does 300dps you shield tanks dies over time then the amour tank dies. Now focus on shield tanking only and instead of dieing you live.
Well, lets say the enemy instead does 1000 dps. Then your tank doesnt matter for much and when you reach armor/hull you die in seconds when instead my setup has an effective 60k HP, 10k sheilds, 14k armor and 6k hull all with 50% or higher resists. That means I would survive 1min vs a full neutron gankathron at optimal range with optimal skills and optimal tracking, is there any chance he will have cap to keep shooting that long?
I respect you and your passive tank setups alot Pottsey but I dont think I could personly use such setups since your cap recharge gets so heavily nerfed.
If they do that much damage, any argument is moot, your going to die. Mixed tank or not. Ultimately, mixed tanks will fail because the modules needed to support either of them for any period of time goes in the oposite slots. Also, tons of HP's are pointless with no resits. Finally, there is no ultimate setup thats gonna work against everything. The best tank of all is playing smart and picking your fights.

Well, If it works, what are you here for? Try it in game and tell us all about it when it pwns or dies in 10 seconds. Theres no point in proving yourself in the forums, you can't PVP here.
