Hauling: Difference between revisions

Line 83:

* Shield Operation: 5% reduction in shield recharge time per level; level IV allows use of T2 shield boosters

* Shield Upgrades: 5% reduction in shield upgrade powergrid needs per level; level IV allows use of T2 shield extenders and rechargers

* <type-specific> Shield Compensation: 3% bonus per level in <type-specific> resistance for active hardeners, 5% bonus per level for passive hardeners

* <type-specific> Shield Compensation: 3% bonus per level in <type-specific> resistance for active hardeners (but only while they are NOT active!), 5% bonus per level for passive hardeners

* Shield Compensation: 2% reduction in shield booster capacitor utilization per level (useful for active tanks)

* Shield Compensation: 2% reduction in shield booster capacitor utilization per level (useful for active tanks, but in high sec, no active tank will have time to make up for the lower EHP it has compared to buffer tanks before concord arrives, and in dangerous areas, haulers are not able to fit enough tank to save them against anything except smartbombs, which again need buffer rather then active tanks)

Recommendation:

* Get Shield Management and Shield Operation at least to IV.

* Get Shield Management and Shield Operation at least to IV (I disagree with the Shield Operation recommendation, active tanks are pretty useless for haulers, as described above, so this one won't be needed for these ships /Steave).

Particularly useful modules:

* Engineering II & Tactical Shield Manipulation IV: Allows use of Invulnerability Field II.

* Hull Upgrades IV: Allows use of T2 Damage Control. There is a trade-off with the cargo expanders typically used by haulers, however.

* Energy Grid Upgrades IV, Engineering II, and Science I: Allows use of T2 Power Diagnostic Systems. Some shield tankers prefer these over Damage Controls for the boost in shield recharge rate.

* Energy Grid Upgrades IV, Engineering II, and Science I: Allows use of T2 Power Diagnostic Systems. Some shield tankers prefer these over Damage Controls for the boost in shield recharge rate (that recharge will not have time to make up for the ehp loss compared to a damage control before concord arrives, even in a 0.5 with a 13 second delay, but it can be combined with a damage control).
