**{{sk|Tactical Shield Manipulation}}: When your shields drop below 25%, damage begins to 'leak' through into your armor; each level in this skill lets your shields drop 5% lower before this begins to happen, to 0% at level V so that damage never leaks through | **{{sk|Tactical Shield Manipulation}}: When your shields drop below 25%, damage begins to 'leak' through into your armor; each level in this skill lets your shields drop 5% lower before this begins to happen, to 0% at level V so that damage never leaks through | ||

***Unlike armor tankers, shield tankers do not have a passive omni-resist module like the Adaptive Nano Plating or Energized Adaptive Nano Membrane. So, passive shield resistance amplifiers are very rarely used. Instead, most shield tanks will make use of the active omni-resist module, the Adaptive Invulnerability Field, which only receives the benefit of the 'x shield compensation' skills when it is not active. | ***Unlike armor tankers, shield tankers do not have a passive omni-resist module like the Adaptive Nano Plating or Energized Adaptive Nano Membrane.
