Tech II resists
A faction's T2 resist profiles are based on its T1 profiles, the shield profiles of which are the same across all the factions, the armor profiles varying.
Each Tech II ship then gets natural resistance bonuses to one or two damage types. For Empire faction ships, the larger bonus is to that faction's historical enemy's primary damage type; the smaller bonus, if it exists, is to the secondary damage type of the enemy. A ship's class (assault frigate, logistics cruiser, etc.) determines how large these bonuses are and how they are calculated. Pirate and other factions' ships will share one of the Empire faction's resist profiles.
Assault Frigates, Heavy Assault Cruisers, Heavy Interdictors, Command Ships, Logistics Cruisers
These ships get bonuses to two damage types; they have the strongest natural resists of all ships.
Shield
For a ship of one of these classes, start with the 'default' profile of 0%/20%/40%/50%. Reduce its remaining vulnerability to its enemy's primary damage type by 75%, and to the secondary damage type by 50%. For example, let's take the Ishtar. Start with 0/20/40/50. Reduce the remaining kinetic vulnerability of (100 - 40) = 60 by 75% to 15, giving (100 - 15) = 85% shield kinetic resistance. Similarly, reduce the remaining thermal vulnerability of (100 - 20) = 80 by 50% to 40, giving (100 - 40) = 60% shield thermal resistance.
Armor
For its armor resistance profile, start with it's racial T1 profile, such as 60/35/25/10 for Minmatar. (Remember Minmatar get a 10% bonus to Amarr's primary damage type, EM.) Then, as for shields, reduce its remaining vulnerability to EM by 75%, and its remaining vulnerability to the secondary damage type, kinetic, by 50%. This gives a 90/67.5/25/10 armor resist profile for Minmatar HACs, HICs, etc. Resists for the other Empire factions are set the same way.
Electronic Attack Ships, Logistics Frigates, Interdictors, Command Destroyers, Tactical Destroyers, Strategic Cruisers
These ships also get bonuses to two damage types. The bonuses are smaller than for HACs, etc., but are still strong.
For both armor and shield, their racial T1 resist profile is augmented with a 50% bonus to their enemy's primary damage type and a 25% bonus to the secondary damage type.
Stealth Bombers, Marauders
+25% +12.5%
Recon Ships
+62.5% +37.5%
Interceptors and Covert Ops
Interceptors and the exploration-bonused Covert Ops frigates get one resistance bonus. This bonus is to their 'enemy's' primary damage type. A flat 10% is added to the the corresponding shield resistance. For armor, the T1 profile already has a 10% bonus. We add a further 10% to this to get the final value for the bonused armor resistance. Another way of thinking about the armor resistance profile of Interceptors is to start with the base 50/35/25/10 profile and add a flat 20% to the resist that gets the bonus.
The other type of Covert Ops frigates, Stealth Bombers, get the same resists as XXXs (see below).
| Natural resistance bonuses by class of ship | ||||
| Class | Shield bonuses | Armor bonuses | ||
| Primary | Secondary | Primary | Secondary | |
| Interceptor | ||||
In summary, the natural shield-resistance profile of a Tech II ship is determined by its
- class (assault frigate, logistics cruiser, etc.) and its
- faction.
