This type of fitting takes a lot of capacitor to sustain your cap-hungry repair modules so it should ideally include modules such as cap rechargers, capacitor batteries or capcitor rigs to balance out and maintain capacitor stability. | This type of fitting takes a lot of capacitor to sustain your cap-hungry repair modules so it should ideally include modules such as cap rechargers, capacitor batteries or capcitor rigs to balance out and maintain capacitor stability. | ||
Active Tanking uses energy from the ship's capacitor to run a local repair module. Active tanks are stronger against higher bursts of damage but tend to drain the pilot's capacitor over time resulting in the tank 'breaking' during long engagements and are vulnerable to [[Capacitor Warfare] that drains the ships capacitor dry. | Active Tanking uses energy from the ship's capacitor to run a local repair module.

Capacitor stability is important because it allows you to leave your Tank modules turned on without ever worrying about running out of capacitor. So long as incoming damage is less than what your repair modules can handle your ship should be able to sustain that level of damage indefinitely. This is commonly referred to as perma-tanking. If incoming damage exceeds your repair capacity you will gradually run out of Hit Points and die. This is commonly referred to as breaking the tank. | Capacitor stability is important because it allows you to leave your Tank modules turned on without ever worrying about running out of capacitor.

Armor tanking emphasizes the use of the low slot modules increase armor hit points, resistance to damage and repair damage done to it. Regardless of the approach taken to armor tanking, it is wise to understand that armor on T1 hulls has an inherent weakness to explosive damage and plan your resistance modules accordingly. Armor tanking ships most commonly have high number of low slots to spare. | Armor tanking emphasizes the use of the low slot modules increase armor hit points, resistance to damage and repair damage done to it.

Armor tanking modules are quite light on CPU usage but use lots of powergrid instead. Low slot using armor modules also leave all the mid slots free for various [[Propulsion equipment|propulsion modules]], [[Electronic warfare|electronic attack]] modules, capacitor modules or application modules. This freedom on mid slots makes armor tanked fits versatile. But using low slot for armor prevents you from using damage modules resulting in lower damage output. | Armor tanking modules are quite light on CPU usage but use lots of powergrid instead.
