If you fill all of your low and middle slots with a passive tank, you don't have any propulsion, utility, or damage mods. This is typically less than an ideal setup. There is often a sweet spot between tank and gank/usability. The trick is to decide an amount of dps to tank and reach it with the fewest possible mods, dedicating the remaining slots to damage, speed, and/or utility.

It's also very important to remember that PvE tanking is often against specific damage types, so there's usually no need to omni-tank except in certain situations such as when you're facing [[Sleepers]] in Wormhole Space.
