Resistances are easier to figure out if you think in damage vulnerability rather than damage resistance. A ship with 60% EM resist is better thought as a 40% damage received. Adding a 30% resist module multiplies the damage taken by 0.7 so you now take 0.7*0.4 = 0.28 = 28% of the raw damage. | Resistances are easier to figure out if you think in damage vulnerability rather than damage resistance.

Because of [[stacking penalties]], and the way resistances multiply together, it is not possible to be 100% resistant to a damage type. | Because of [[stacking penalties]], and the way resistances multiply together, it is not possible to be 100% resistant to a damage type. The final resist with multiple modules and stacking penalties can be calculated with formula<br> | ||

It's often more sensible to increase the resistances of your ship than to increase the total number of HP. The damage reduction of resistance modules is a constant where as the buffer reduces with each attack. The fitting requirements for resistance modules are often less than the fitting requirements for Shield Extenders and armor plates. The one drawback is [[Stacking_penalties|stacking penalties]] that will inhibit the effectiveness of additional resistance modules but do not apply to Shield Extenders. | It's often more sensible to increase the resistances of your ship than to increase the total number of HP.
