Perhaps one of the easiest and least skill intensive ways to buff your tank is to simply add a '''Damage Control II''' and try to increase your structure points as much as you can. The skill requirements for that is fairly easy, requiring only {{sk|Mechanics|III|mult=yes}} and {{sk|Hull Upgrades|IV|mult=yes}} for the damage control. Further increasing '''mechanics''' will increase the overall efficiency of the buff, since it increases your structure points by 5% per level.

Fitting an armor tank can be a little bit more skill intensive, especially a passive resist setup since the efficiency of passive resist modules rely heavily on the armor compensation skills such as {{sk|EM Armor Compensation|mult=yes}}, {{sk|Thermal Armor Compensation|mult=yes}}, {{sk|Kinetic Armor Compensation|mult=yes}} and {{sk|Explosive Armor Compensation|mult=yes}}. A setup with active hardeners would potentially give you higher resists, but would take up too many modules leaving scarcely few slots for actual armor plates.

The skills to use a proper tech two shield tank isn't quite as skill intensive as armour, requiring just {{sk|Shield Upgrades|IV|mult=yes}} and {{sk|Tactical Shield Manipulation|IV|mult=yes}}. Since there aren't any passive omni tanked shield modules, you need to use an active invulnerability field. You can fit for anti-gank by using an invulnerability field as well as thermal and kinetic hardener, since the strongest gankers are gallente. Use the rest of the midslots for as many shield extenders as possible and an afterburner/microwarpdrive to cut then align time down (see below).

In order to use the microwarpdrive and cloak you'll need to train {{sk|High Speed Maneuvering|III|mult=yes}} and {{sk|Cloaking|III|mult=yes}} and use the appropriately sized microwarpdrive for your ship class. Frigates use the 5MN-variant, cruisers the 50MN-variant and battleships the 500MN-variant. While there are 50,000MN-variants for capital ships, certain ships like [[Orca]]s and [[Bowhead]]s can only fit "undersized" 500MN Microwarpdrives due to powergrid restrictions. As such they are limited to using them only as a means to align in 10 seconds flat (see above). They cannot combine their microwarpdrive with a cloak to do this trick, as they will simply not be able to accelerate fast enough.

Getting the shuttle to less than two second align time only requires {{sk|Navigation|II|mult=yes}} and {{sk|Evasive Maneuvering|III|mult=yes}}.

This fit only requires you to train a {{sk|Evasive Maneuvering|III}} and if you don't already have it, {{sk|Gallente Frigate|I}} which in total is less than 9 hours worth of training. This makes it a very accessible method of moving around, until you can fly the more effective interceptors.

Below is an example of a [[Raptor]] fitted for fast travel, that will require {{sk|Spaceship Command|V|icon=yes}} if you want to keep the hyperspatial rigs.

Covops Cloak) requires {{sk|Cloaking|IV|mult=yes}} to use.</ref></small> can be very effective in moving about in hostile space, such as low-, null- and wormhole space. Their ability to remain cloaked at all times, assuming you don't let anything get too close, will allow them to safely scout out gates for gate camp as well as letting them use covert cynosural fields.
