| − | + | === Amarr vs Minmatar === | |
| − | + | ||
| − | + | It is clear that the tech 2 Amarr ships have an increased explosive resist to make up for the Minmatar explosive damage. On the other hand, we have the Minmatar Ships with a high EM resist to make up for the Amarr dominant EM damage type. We see a similar pattern with armor as well. | |

| − | + | Both the Gallente are Caldari are striving for high thermal and kinetic resists, while ignoring the EM and explosive resists. The Amarr Ships covers most resistances in its armor, while the Minmatar covers its resistances in its shields. | |
| − | + | ||
| − | + | Amarr generally are better off armor tanked, while Minmatar are better off shield tanked. Gallente and Caldari have a good balance between shield and armor, with the Gallente leaning a little towards armor and Caldari leaning towards shield. | |

| − | + | === When the Resistance hole is unplugged === | |
| − | |||
| − | + | With the assumption that your target doesn't try to plug in their resist holes lets analyze the damage types of each faction vs all ships resists. | |
| − | |||
| − | + | ==== Amarr ==== | |
| − | == | + | |
| − | + | Lasers have EM damage as primary damage type and thermal as secondary. | |
| + | |||
| + | <u>'''Tech 1'''</u> | ||
| + | |||
| + | Lasers will do most damage to any T1 ship shield, but will do considerably less damage to armor, especially tech 1 Minmatar ships which have a higher armor EM resist. | ||
| + | |||
| + | '''<u>Tech 2</u>''' | ||
| + | |||
| + | Lasers will do great damage to Gallente, Caldari and Amarr shield tanking pilots but will have problems with Minmatar shield tanking ships. lasers will do highest damage vs other tech 2 Amarr ships but will do considerably less damage to other faction ships that armor tank, especially Minmatar. | ||
| − | === | + | ==== Minmatar ==== |
| − | |||
| − | |||
| − | |||
| − | + | Projectiles do have explosive as their dominant damage type, but they do have the luxury of selecting damage type and are quite efficient at doing so. It is not a very good idea to change ammo mid fight where every second counts, but if one has the enemy fleet composition and has Intel on the targets common fits; then knowing if a target is armor tanked or shield tanked can be a major advantage. Try to load the correct ammo before the fight. | |
| − | + | ||
| − | + | '''<u>Tech 1</u>''' | |
| − | + | ||
| − | + | Since shields have an EM hole and armor has a explosive hole, then it is best to use EMP vs all tier 1 ships shields and Fusion vs all tier 1 ships armor. | |

| − | + | '''<u>Tech 1</u>''' | |
| − | + | If you are in a ship that has a kinetic damage bonus(Kestrel, Carcal and drake), then it is best to use kinetic damage (Bloodclaw,Scourge) against armor tanked ships and EM(Sabertooth,Thunderbolt) vs shield tanked ships regardless of faction. | |

| − | + | <br> | |

| − | + | === When the resistance hole is plugged === | |
| − | '''<u>Tech | + | '''<u>Tech 1</u>''' |
| − | + | Ships that are shield tanking will always try and plug their EM resist hole, and armor tanking ships will always try and plug their explosive hole. Some pilots who are known to face many Caldari ships, that do high kinetic damage, may also chose to plug both explosive and kinetic holes; but they are very rare and extremely situational. | |
| − | + | '''<u>Tech 2</u>''' | |
| − | + | Amarr will plug EM when shield tanking and thermal when armor tanking. | |
| − | + | Minmatar will plug kinetic when shield tanking and explosive when armor tanking. | |
| − | + | Gallente and Caldari will plug EM when shield tanking and explosive when armor tanking. | |
| − | + | ==== Amarr ==== | |
| − | + | Lasers have EM damage as primary damage type and thermal as secondary. | |
| − | |||
| − | |||
| − | |||
| − | |||
| − | |||
| − | |||
'''<u>Tech 1</u>''' | '''<u>Tech 1</u>''' | ||
| − | + | If tech 1 ships plug in their shield EM resist hole then laser's primary damage(EM) is mitigated with both shield tanking and armor tanking ships. However, lasers have thermal as their secondary damage type. Therefore, they can do decent thermal damage to all shield and armor tanked ships, but might face difficulties vs Caldari armor tanked pilots; since they have a natural thermal resist that is higher than other races. | |
'''<u>Tech 2</u>''' | '''<u>Tech 2</u>''' | ||
| − | + | Lasers really do little damage vs all tech 2 frigates if they plug their resist holes. Most shield tanking ships excluding Amarr will be above 50% resist to both EM and thermal once the holes are plugged reducing the lasers damage considerably. However, when Tech 2 ships plug in their explosive armor resist, their lowest armor resist now becomes EM; this can be exploited to their favor. Keep in mind thought that Minmatar have a high EM armor natural resist, which means that lasers are least effective vs Minmatar shield and armor tanked ships. | |
| − | ==== | + | ==== Minmatar ==== |
| − | + | <u>'''Tech 1'''</u> | |
| − | + | Now that shield tanked pilots have their EM hole plugged, their new hole will end up being thermal, So its a good idea to use Phased plasma vs shield tanked ships. Similarly, when armor tanked pilots plug in their explosive hole thier new hole will be kinetic followed by thermal, which makes the Phased plasma the best choice. | |
| − | + | <u>'''Tech 2'''</u> | |
| − | ' | + | EMP is best used against Amarr, Caldari and Gallente ship's armor, but has the worst damage vs Minmatar armor. |
| − | + | Fusion is best used against Caldari, Gallente and Minmatar ship's Shield, but has the worst damage vs Amarr Shield. | |
| − | + | Phased Plasma is best used against Amarr armor and shields, and has the worst damage vs Caldari armor and shields. | |
| − | |||
| − | |||
| − | |||
| − | === | + | ==== Gallente ==== |
| − | ''' | + | <u>'''Tech 1'''</u> |
| − | + | It is interesting to notice that shield and armor tanked ships will try to plug EM and explosive damages respectively, meaning that this will have no effect on hybrids. Hybrids do slightly more damage to all tier 1 ship's armor than shield. They do least armor damage to other Gallente ships. | |
| − | ''' | + | <u>'''Tech 2'''</u> |
| − | Amarr will | + | Again same with tech 1, although Amarr pilots might try to plug their armor thermal hole, it will not make a big difference since they will have a new kinetic hole. Hybrids do most damage to Minmatar Tech 2 ships,with Amarr as 2nd highest, Caldari as third highest and does the least damage to other Gallente ships. |
| − | + | ==== Caldari ==== | |
| − | + | '''<u>Tech 1</u>''' | |
| − | + | If you are in a ship that has a kinetic damage bonus(Kestrel, Carcal and drake), then it is best to use kinetic damage (Bloodclaw,Scourge) against armor tanked ships and Thermal damage (Flameburst,Widowmaker) vs shield tanked ships regardless of faction. | |

Revision as of 18:06, 4 November 2011
THIS IS A DRAFT, AND A WORK IN PROGRESS! DO NOT EDIT YET PLEASE!
Natural enemies
Before going into ship types you need to know the races, and more importantly who are enemies to each other in order to understand how the natural resists work.
Amarr VS Minmatar
Gallente VS Caldari
Each race has a dominant damage type
Amarr
Amarr deal both EM and thermal, but does more EM damage throughout all ammo types. This makes EM the dominant Amarr Damage type
Minmatar
File:Projectiles.jpg
Projectiles.jpg
Minmatar deal all damage types depending on ammo, but 6 out of the 8 ammo types you will find some explosive damage. Most people will argue that projectile ammo can be interchanged to deal any damage type, however for the sake of this topic; we will stick to Explosive as the Minmatar dominant damage type.
Gallente
Gallente use hybrid ammo that only deal kinetic and thermal damage. It is clear that Gallente have thermal as highest damage type, however for the sake of this topic lets assume that the dominant Gallente damage type is thermal.
Caldari
File:Missiles.jpg
Missiles.jpg
Caldari missiles have the versatility to deal all damage types equally well. However, three of their most popular ships also have bonuses to kinetic damage. So it is safe to say that Caldari have kinetic as the dominant damage type.
| Race |
Dominant Damage Type |
| Amarr |
EM |
| Minmatar |
Explosive |
| Gallente |
Thermal |
| Caldari |
Kinetic |
Tech 1 Ships
Generally all Tech 1 ships (and faction ship) follow a general pattern when it comes to resists. For a given race, all tech 1 ships and faction ships have the same resists, be it a tech 1 frigate or a titan. A Punisher has the same exact resistance attributes as an Avatar.
All tech 1 ships have an EM shield hole and an explosive armor hole.
All tech 1 ships and faction ships have the same shield resist. However, armor resists between different races vary slightly, mainly to compensate for the dominating enemy race damage type.
Lets take a look at the different tech 1 ship resists by comparing them to their natural enemies.
Amarr VS Minmatar
File:T1 AVSM.png
T1 AVSM.png
As you can see, the Minmatar tech 1 ships have a slightly higher EM armor resist to compensate for the dominant Amarr damage type. Likewise, the Amarr tech 1 ships have a slightly increased explosive resist to compensate for the dominant Minmatar damage type.
Gallente VS Caldari
File:T1 GVSCv2.0.jpg
T1 GVSCv2.0.jpg
The Caldari tech 1 ships have a slightly higher thermal armor resist, again to compensate for the dominant Gallente damage type. The Gallente however opted for a balanced kinetic/thermal resistance attribute.
Tech 2 Ships
Tech 2 ships have different resist types than their tech 1 variants.
Tech 2 resists can be split into 6 diffrent profiles. Lets examine these profiles using a table.

Some ships offer bonusus to resistance based on the prerequsite skill to fly them. In the next table, you will find the resistance profiles based on having the respective ship skill at level 5. However, this does not affect the ships natural resistance, but the remaining amount. For example, the Vengeance has an 80% armor explosive resistance, but the 25% armor resistance bonus works on the incoming 20% damage. This means that out of the 20% incoming explosive damage, 25% is resisted, which is 5% of total incoming damage and results in a total of 85% explosive armor resistance.

Amarr vs Minmatar
It is clear that the tech 2 Amarr ships have an increased explosive resist to make up for the Minmatar explosive damage. On the other hand, we have the Minmatar Ships with a high EM resist to make up for the Amarr dominant EM damage type. We see a similar pattern with armor as well.
Gallente vs Caldari
Again, here we see the Gallente ships have an ever so slightly higher kinetic shield resists, while the Caldari have a slightly higher thermal shield resists. Again, Same goes for armor.
Noticeable findings
Both the Gallente are Caldari are striving for high thermal and kinetic resists, while ignoring the EM and explosive resists. The Amarr Ships covers most resistances in its armor, while the Minmatar covers its resistances in its shields.
Amarr generally are better off armor tanked, while Minmatar are better off shield tanked. Gallente and Caldari have a good balance between shield and armor, with the Gallente leaning a little towards armor and Caldari leaning towards shield.
- Each faction has a combination of two resistances that are constant regardless of which resist profile it falls in.
- The Amarr have EM and Thermal constant in all types.
- The Minmatar have Explosive and Kinetic constant in all types.
- The Gallente have EM and Explosive constant in all types.
- The Caldari have EM and Explosive constant in all types.
The rate at which each faction covers its defenses versus their enemies damage type changes with each class. It is highest with the Type 1 ships and lowest with the Type 6 Ships.
Common tendancies
- Minmatar
- In general advanced Minmatar ships favor a kiting approach and view their tank as just a hit point buffer so more often than not the holes are not patched. If they are though it is usually done by adding a kinetic and explosive resistance rig.
- Amarr
- Cruiser-sized and above ships are very likely to patch their biggest resist hole and with a single thermic hardener.
- Gallente
- A lot of ships like Ishkurs and Deimoses will plug the basic hole using an explosive hardener or an explosive rig.
- Caldari
- Because of the sheer size of the EMP hole it is a very good bet that there is at least a resistance rig or two if not an active hardener covering that hole.
