EVE Fitting Tool, or EFT, is one of the most widely used 3rd party applications by players. It allows you to create and experiment with different ship fittings without the need to be in the game. By adding your character information, it can let you know if you meet the requirements for the fitting or what skills you lack for the proper fit. The step-by-step visual guide below is aimed at providing you with a good understanding of how to use the program and interpret the information it displays.~~ ~~To download EFT you should follow the link in the opening post of [https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=24359 this thread] on the official EVE online forums.

DamageProfile=[ammo] Tremor,0,0,3,5

DamageProfile=EM,1,0,0,0

DamageProfile=~~Thermic~~,0,1,0,0

DamageProfile=Thermal,0,1,0,0

DamageProfile=Kinetic,0,0,1,0

DamageProfile=Explosive,0,0,0,1

With these damage profiles you'll be able to see how effective your tank is against specific enemies/weapons. Both your DPS tank and your effective HP ratings will be recalculated based on the damage type you use, by default EFT is using a balanced damage profile (which is the reason why the numbers might differ from the numbers shown by the ingame fitting screen, as the ingame fitting screen is using your lowest resists to calculate the effectiveness of your tank).
