Did that really need 3 posts?!
Just wanna say theres a lot of faction and I don't know all the isk costs on it, but dear god please make sure you can field 2 carriers for the cost of your fitting (I have seen this before and I know which I would rather have).
Also though it's unorthodox, You can get a better shield tank out of the thanatos, but this will affect your cap stability, but then if your running T2 rigs ( -.- ) it might not be an issue for you.

Just to be clear, you're suggesting that I shield tank a Thanatos?
You will tank a hell of a lot more DPS with a T2 shield fit and you will have better cap stability than what your planning to fly.

EFTWarrior alert!!
Worst setup I have every seen. Thats not even cap stable.
Fit 2 large smartbombers, 2 remote reps, 1 neut/cloak in highs. 3 active hardners, 1 eanm, 2 reps in low. Cap rechargers and sensor boosters in med. Thats the setup I use.
Did you bother EFT'ing the OP's setup? its a lot less cap stable...
Also its cap stable with either of the capacitor implants.
Not to mention there are loads of ways to shield tank a thanatos, best way for EFT stats would be to use capacitor flux coils, but you may see your cap die a little too fast with neuts on you.
An advantage of using flux coils however is a mental recharge time on your capacitor so you recharge between jumps by almost half!
To the OP, I would tend to prefer to let my gang mates do the targeting for me. And as for ECM its headed for a nerf tbh and with a base sensor str of 76 you don't need to worry too much, its more effective for the ecm boats to lock up the rest of your gang.

If you wanted to shield tank a Thanatos, which is not something I'm suggesting you try...
Why not, its fairly clearly better than its armour tank counterparts...

Again, this is not something I would try in a real-world fit; Chimeras are just plain better at shield tanking because of their native resit bonuses.
Gee the shield tanking carrier is better at tanking 
Sorry, lol, but that seems fairly obvious. By the same reasoning I could say we shouldnt armour tank the thanatos because the archon is better at armour tanking.
Anyways, final fitting for the carrier (and this looks like somehting I might use when I get my capital shield tanking skills):
6 x Amarr Navy Capacitor Power Relay
1 x Capital Shield Booster I
1 x Shield Boost Amplifier II
2 x Invulnerability Field II
1 x Photon Scattering Field II
2 x Capital Remote Armor Repair System I
2 x Large Plasma Smartbomb II
1 x Siege Warfare Link - Shield Harmonizing
2 x Capacitor Control Circuit II
1 x Capacitor Control Circuit I
With the leadership skills at level 4 and everything else at level 5 this will tank just over 2500 dps and it has nearly 400 cap per second on top of that for neut at peak recharge before its personal tank starts to be affected.
Also it has a recharge time on the capacitor of just over 300 seconds so you will jump very fast.

Ya, the low slots are awful.
Gallente have LOTS of structure, so the DCU is practically made for Gallente ships. For Caldari and Amarr capitals fitting a DCU is idiotic (you work with your tank), but with Gallente and Minmatar the balance between the Shield, Armor and Strucutre really beggs for a DCU. Of course there is the stacking penalty.
As a side note: I think you are spending too much money on your carrier fittings. T2 is really just fine. With all those fittings, you may as well just purchase a replacement Carrier with T2 fittings. But its not my money.
Finally - Please for the love of God - fit shield transporters too. Chimera pilots and 'smart' Nid pilots use shield tanking. . .lets play nice nice with that too ok?
I think shield transporters are dependant on your gang, and they take so much CPU they're not really as viable as armour tbh.
Though if you're with other shield tanking thanatos...

get rid of one rep and fit a cpr, you need alot more cap to sustain the rr
Did you read this whole thread at all?! and damn thats a bad idea, you will get taken down by a single BS, you need to be able to tank a ****ing lot more than that.
