The solution is simple.
Limit the number of EANs and Invuln fields that any ship can fit. Similar to a DCU, only allow 1 EAN/Invuln field to be fit to a ship at one time.
Keeps them still really usefull, but you have to *think* and make tactical decisions on what to harden against. That is the real base problem I have with Omni resist hardeners. Instead of tactical decisions that optimize a ship for some encounters and make them suboptimal for others you can just fit omni hardeners to just tank everything.
Tactical decisions on loadouts is part of what makes Eve fun/interesting. Multiple omnimods tanking everything takes away from that.

EANM's/Invuln are already limited due to the stacking penalties nooblar (unless you already knew this, then i take back the "nooblar" ). The only reasons why DCU's are limited to 1 is that A.)they don't follow the stacking penalty and B.) They'd give you 75% all res for your hull, which would make hull tanking an actual possibility, which is kinda nice . Oh, and the amarrians will still complain cause 1x EANM II and 1x DCU still give you a 73% res on EM (assuming max skills). Oh, and if you limit the eanm/dcu's, it won't change the fact that now, armor tanks will tank for thermal more, which will in turn make laser do less dps; then we'll see yet more posts on how thermal damage sucks. Sad, yes i know.
Oh and to tasty who posted something like, shields don't give you more hp/sec w/ armor rep skill to 5 is just plain wrong. 1x LAR II give your 800 hp / 11.25 sec where as 1x X-L booster II gives you 600 hp / 5 sec. Do the math please before you make incorrect statements such as these (the X-L booster is the equivalent to a LAR in terms of fitting requirements). In order for an armor tanker to out rep a shield tanker is to do a dual rep, but then a shield tanker could then jsut simply fit a sba. Now the shield tanker w/ max comp skill and an sba now reps just as or faster than the armor tanker and has a better hp/cap ratio:
For the x-l II, (600*1.3)/(400*.9)=2.167hp/cap
For the LAR II, 800/400=2hp/cap
thus x-l hp/cap > LAR hp/cap.
