Buffer shield tanks operate in a very similar fashion but with one fewer slot, using between two and five. In order, fit the following:
*a Large Shield Extender (for cruisers and larger) or a Medium Shield Extender (for frigates and destroyers). Small Shield Extenders should never be used, on any ship
*a Large Shield Extender (for cruisers and larger) or a Medium Shield Extender (for frigates and destroyers).
*one Multispectrum Shield Hardener, or if cap is an issue (and you are only using two slots) possibly a second shield extender of the same type

*look at your four resistances and "close" the one that is lowest with a single active shield hardener of the appropriate type

Active armor tanks operate in a similar fashion, but generally replace the plates with Armor Repair Modules plus one Ancillary Armor Repair module of the appropriate size. They may also replace EANMs with a second (and sometimes even third!) armor repairer. Active shield tanks replace the Shield Extenders with one or perhaps two Shield Boosters, the first of which is usually an X-Large Ancillary Shield Booster (cruisers and up) or Medium Ancillary Shield Booster (frigates). Use caution if intending to fit a Large Ancillary Shield Booster. In most applications, it will not repair sufficient damage to be useful. The Small Ancillary Shield Booster should not be used on any ship.
