Most ships smaller than a battleship can be passive shield tanked, even armor bonused ships like the Myrmidon.  
Most ships smaller than a battleship can be effective with a passive shield tank, even ships with armor bonuses like the [[Myrmidon]].  


Battleships and larger are better with active tanking. The reason being that cruisers and battlecruisers can fit the largest shield extenders available, so battleships have difficulties increasing their shield amount enough to reach good regen rates. There are, of course, exceptions such as the [[rattlesnake]] or [[rokh]], because they have shield resistance bonuses.
Battleships and ships with larger hulls are often better with active tanking. The reason being that cruisers and battlecruisers can fit the largest shield extenders available, so battleships have difficulty increasing their shield amount enough to reach relatively comparable regeneration rates. There are notable exceptions such as the [[Rattlesnake]] and [[Rokh]], because of their slot layout and innate shield resistance bonuses.
