====Active Armor Tank====

By fitting [[Armor Repairer|armor repairers]] to your ship, you acquire the ability to repair your armor during combat. An active armor tank is a great choice if your intention is to solo PvE, solo or small gang PvP. The strength of your tank is defined by the amount of hitpoints you can repair over time, multiplied by your resistances which decrease incoming damage. You can use energized nano membranes or armor hardeners to boost your resistances.

The strength of your tank is defined by the amount of hitpoints you can repair over time, multiplied by your resistances which decrease incoming damage. You can use energized nano membranes or armor hardeners to boost your resistances. Certain rigs will boost the effectiveness of your repairer.

As a quick example a ship that can repair 100HP/s and has 75% resistances across the board will be able to survive incoming damage upwards of 400DMG/s.

This type of fitting comes with it's disadvantages though. Running repairers will cost you capacitor and might require modules to counter this cap-hungry nature ~~such as [[cap recharger|cap rechargers]], [[capacitor power relay|capacitor power relays]] or [[cap booster|cap boosters]]~~. You will be susceptible to neuting and your low hitpoints might get you killed in high alpha strike situations where your repairer won't be able to finish it's cycle before the initial shot from enemies.

Some ships that can active armor tank well are(but not limited to): [[Dominix]], [[Myrmidon]], [[Paladin]], [[Legion]] with the appropriate subsystem.

'''Useful Modules''': Armor Repairer, Energized <adaptive or resistance type> Nano Membrane, Armor <resistance type> Hardener, Reactive Armor Hardener, Capacitor Power Relay, Cap Recharger, Capacitor Booster, Auxiliary Nano Pump(rig), Nanobot Accelerator(rig), Capacitor Control Circuit(rig).
