Spider tanking is a fleet tactic in which ships mount remote armor repair modules so they can repair each other.  Properly managed, this can be extremely powerful.  However, there are counter-tactics that can be used by a prepared and thoughtful opponent.

==Spider Tanking explained==
==Overview==


A group of ships, equipped with remote repair units, attacks another fleet in the usual manner.  When one of their own ships is attacked, some or most of the group targets that ship with the remote repair units.  In this way, the repair power of the whole group can be focused on the one vulnerable ship.  When the opposing force switches targets, the repair target also switches.
