*DPS tank - if you can remove enemy ships very fast, then you receive less DPS. In other words, you sacrifice some tanking capabilities to increase DPS, in hope that you will kill them first. I do not recommend fitting for DPS tank anything smaller than Battleships

*Range tank - if you plan your engagements at long range, enemies also cannot hit you. It's worth having in mind, as it means that using short range weapons will put more stress on your tank capabilities

So how do you fit your tank?
So how do you fit your tank?
First - you need to know how much do you need. I usually aim for 100 EHP/s for T1 Cruisers, 250 EHP/s for T1 Battlecruisers and 500 EHP/s for T1 Battleships - for L2/L3/L4 missions respectively. I also tend to 'overtank' my ships - it's easier to remove some tank if I see it's too much, than to struggle with missions and warp out several times. These values assume you're not actively speed tanking, and you're not sniping from extreme ranges - if that's true, you can try to lower your tank a bit.
Which tank you want to choose?
