=== Passive Resistance: Damage Control Unit, Resistance and Energized Plating ===

Damage Control Units (DCU) are handy modules that add a small amount of resistance to all damage types for Shields, Armor, and a significant amount of resistance to Structure. They require the same amount of CPU as an Energized Plate and ~~an insignificant amount of capacitor~~ to ~~function (1GJ). These are active modules that must~~ be ~~turned on in order to function~~. ~~Unlike other Hardeners, the protection offered~~ by the ~~Damage control unit is~~ all ~~or nothing~~. ~~Only~~ one DCU can be ~~active~~ at a time, so it is ~~impossible~~ to ~~fit more than one~~.

Damage Control Units (DCU) are handy modules that add a small amount of resistance to all damage types for Shields, Armor, and a significant amount of resistance to Structure. They require the same amount of CPU as an Energized Plate and do not need to be activated. Just by fitting and onlining the DCU, all resist benefits are applied. However, only one DCU can be fitted at a time, so it is not possible to stack multiple DCUs.

As the name implies, Resistance Plating modules increase your armor's resistance to damage. Though not terribly effective in terms of the resistance bonus provided, these modules have a two distinct advantages: They are passive, which means they do not require capacitor to function and extremely easy to fit; requiring no CPU and a single unit of powergrid, which makes them useful for frigates and ships no fitting room left for anything else.
