<br> Some ships offer bonusus to resistance based on the prerequsite skill to fly them. In the next table, you will find the resistance profiles based on having the respective ship skill at level 5. However, this does not affect the ships natural resistance, but the remaining amount. For example, the Vengeance has an 80% armor explosive resistance, but the 25% armor resistance bonus works on the incoming 20% damage. This means that out of the 20% incoming explosive damage, 25% is resisted, which is 5% of total incoming damage and results in a total of 85% explosive armor resistance. | <br> Some ships offer bonusus to resistance based on the prerequsite skill to fly them.

For comparisons sake, lets examine the aggregate resists of each of these resistance profiles. | For comparisons sake, lets examine the aggregate resists of each of these resistance profiles. | ||

*Amarr vs Minmatar | |||
It is clear that the Amarr Vengeance has an increased explosive resist to make up for the Minmatar explosive damage. On the other hand, we have the Minmatar Jaguar with a high EM resist to make up for the Amarr dominant EM damage type. We see a similar pattern with armor as well. | |||
*Gallente vs Caldari | |||
Again, here we see the Gallente ships have an ever so slightly higher kinetic shield resists, while the Caldari have a slightly higher thermal shield resists. Same goes for armor. | |||
*Noticeable findings | |||
Both the Gallente are Caldari are striving for high thermal and kinetic resists, while ignoring the EM and explosive resists. The Vengance covers most resistances in its armor, while the Jaguar covers its resistances in its shields. | |||
Amarr generally are better off armor tanked, while Minmatar are better off shield tanked. Gallente and Caldari have a good balance between shield and armor, with the Gallente leaning a little towards armor and Caldari leaning towards shield. | |||
The rate at which each faction covers its defenses versus their enemies damage type changes with each class. It is highest with the Assault ships and lowest with the interceptor and the covert-ops, which share the same resists. | |||
=== Tech 2 Frigates === | |||
Tech 2 frigates all have different resists based on thier hull, but they follow the same principle. I will be using the assault frigate as an example. | |||
[[Image:Assaultships.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Assaultships.jpg]] [[Image:T2inty.png|thumb|right|200px|T2inty.png]] [[Image:T2Electronic.png|thumb|right|200px|T2Electronic.png]] [[Image:T2Covops.png|thumb|right|200px|T2Covops.png]] [[Image:T2Stealthbomber.png|thumb|right|200px|T2Stealthbomber.png]] | |||
Assault frigates are variations of a tier 1 frigate hull, namely the Incursus, Rifter, Punsiher and the Merlin. Since both Assault frigates from each race stem from the same hull, any one of the two will do for the comparison. When comparing the four assault frigates, we see a pattern that resembles the tier 1 resistance attributes. Some ships still have a shield EM hole and an armor explosive hole. | |||
It is worth mentioning that the Vengeance has a 5% armor resist bonus per assault ships level, which means at level 5 assault ships, the Vengeance gets a 25% bonus to armor resistance. <br> | |||
