|'''Armor plates''' increase the ships armor HP by a flat number. The drawback is increased mass that results in slower and less agile ship. It is somewhat common to fit oversized plates. For example 1600mm plates on a cruiser. | |||

|[[File:Icon armor thermal hardener.png]] | |||
|'''Armor hardeners''' are active modules that boost one of the four armor resistances: EM, Thermal, Kinetic or Explosive.<br>Compared to membranes, they use capacitor (not much though) and slightly more CPU but offer a large boost in effectiveness | |||

|[[File:Icon energized membrane.png]] | |||
|'''Energized membranes''' are passive resist modules that moderately increase the armor resists. The resist bonus is smaller than on active hardeners but greater than on resistance platings. There are damage type specific modules that increase only one resist type and an adaptive membrane that increases all resist types. The name "adaptive" is misleading and the resist bonus is static. The resist bonus is increased by corresponding Armor Compensation skill. | |||

|'''Resistance platings''' are passive resistance modules that increase the armor resistances. They require practically nothing to fit, only 1 PG. They offer lower resist bonus than energized membranes or active hardeners. There are both type specific modules that increase only one resist type and an adaptive plating that increases all resist types. The name "adaptive" is misleading and the resist bonus is static. The resist bonus is increased by corresponding Armor Compensation skill. | |||

|[[File:Icon module damage control.png]] | |||
|'''Damage control''' is a passive module that increases ship's shield, armor and hull resists. This module is not stacking penalized with most other resist modules. Only the reactive armor hardener is stacking penalized with damage control. | |||

|[[icon_reactive_armor_hardener.png]] | |||
|'''Reactive armor hardener''' is a active module that increases armor resists. it gives in total 60% resist bonus split across all four damage types. When you first activate the module the resists are evenly split to 15% per damage type. As you receive armor damage the RAH will adjust its resist at the end of cycle by increasing the resist against two highest received damage types and reducing the resist against rest of the damage types. The resists shift by 6% per cycle. | |||
