***Since there is no omni-resist active armor hardener module (an armor equivalent to the Multispectrum Shield Hardener), the passive omni-resist platings (Adaptive Nano Plating and Energized Adaptive Nano Membrane) see a lot of use in armor [[Buffer|buffer]] and [[Spider Tanking|armor RR]] fits, and these benefit from the armor compensation skills.

***So it's a good idea to get these to III fairly quickly, and perhaps to IV in the long term, if you ever have reasons to fit resistance plating.

** {{sk|Armor Layering}}: "5% reduction to armor plate mass penalty per level". Armor plates increase a ship's mass, harming its alignment speed and acceleration. This skill ameliorates some of that harm.

*** Armor plates are used for ''buffer'' armor tanking in PvP, increasing the total effective hitpoints of a ship's armor, and this is a useful skill for flying ships with buffer armor tanks

*** However, if you're planning on only ''active'' armor tanking, spending capacitor to repair your ship's armor, as is most commonly done for PvE combat and certain types of PvP, this skill might not be directly relevant to you.

*'''Shield tanking skills''' - These skills are more relevant to ships that focus on shields for their survivability:
