**The four 'X Armor Compensation' skills: {{sk|EM Armor Compensation}}, {{sk|Explosive Armor Compensation}}, {{sk|Kinetic Armor Compensation}} and {{sk|Thermic Armor Compensation}}.

***Each of these increases the armor resistance bonuses of '''passive''' armor hardeners by 5% per level. Their bonuses to active armor hardeners only apply when the active armor hardeners are turned off, and are therefore irrelevant in most scenarios. They are, however, a nice backup if you are being neuted heavily enough to turn off your hardeners, but that is rare.

***Since there is no omni-resist active armor hardener module (an armor equivalent to the ~~[http://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/Adaptive_Invulnerability_Field_I~~ Adaptive Invulnerability Field]), the passive omni-resist platings (~~[http://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/Adaptive_Nano_Plating_I~~ Adaptive Nano Plating] and ~~[http://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/Energized_Adaptive_Nano_Membrane_I~~ 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.

***Since there is no omni-resist active armor hardener module (an armor equivalent to the Adaptive Invulnerability Field), 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.

***Tactical Shield Manipulation's usefulness is disputed, but level IV is required to use the very useful T2 active shield hardeners, so most people train it to IV and then forget about it
