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, Auxiliary 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).

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

'''Required Skills''': <resistance type> Armor Compensation, Repair Systems, Hull Upgrades, Capacitor Management, Capacitor Systems Operation, Armor Rigging

====Buffer Armor Tank====

Extending your ship's hitpoints allows you stay under heavy fire longer and if available receive repairs from logistics ships such as the [[Guardian]]. This method of tanking will give you a higher level of survivability in larger engagements where the combined damage of an enemy fleet would overwhelm any active tank. Instead, specialized logistics ships are tasked with repairs while the bulk of the fleet focuses on dealing damage or electronic warfare. Most modules required are passive or need low amounts of capacitor.

However, armor plates and trimark rigs increase your mass and lower your speed. Plates also require lots of powergrid, potentially creating issues for your fitting. Much like an active armor tank, most modules for it are fitted in low slots so other useful low slot modules may be missed.

Many ships are suitable buffer armor tanking, however the [[Amarr]] and [[Gallente]] line excel at this. Certain [[Minmatar]] ships can be armor tanked as well, but the [[Caldari]] have very few ships suitable for this type of defense.

'''Useful Modules''': <Thickness>mm Steel Armor Plate, Energized <adaptive or resistance type> Nano Membrane, Armor <resistance type> Hardener, <adaptive or resistance type> Nano Plating, Reactive Armor Hardener, Trimark Armor Pump(rig), Anti-<resistance type> Pump(rig)
