Every ship has a number of natural (unfitted) resistances to shield and armor damage. Tech I ships from the same faction have the same natural resistances, but this rule does not apply to Tech II ships. | Every ship has a number of natural (unfitted) resistances to shield and armor damage.

Some [[Special_Edition_Ships|Special Edition]] T1 ships have a different shield resistance profile. For example, ships from the [[Society of Conscious Thought]] generally have a 27.5/27.5/27.5/27.5 (even) profile, although the [[Apotheosis]] shuttle has the regular 0/20/40/50. | Some [[Special_Edition_Ships|Special Edition]] T1 ships have a different shield resistance profile.

Some [[Caldari]] ships and all [[Guristas]] ships (except the titan) have a bonus to their shield resistances.

There is reason to these resist profiles. They are all based on a 50/35/25/10 profile, but each race has a 10% bonus to one damage type. For the [[New_Eden#Rise_of_the_Empires|empire factions]], the bonused armor resist is the same as the primary damage type of the race they were historically at war with.<ref>Amarr's primary damage type is EM, Caldari: kinetic, Gallente: thermal and Minmatar: explosive. This pattern carries over to the empire races' drone damage type.</ref> Perhaps this is best illuminated with an example: Take Gallente ships. Start with the base profile of 50/35/25/10 and add 10% kinetic resistance, kinetic being the primary damage type of the Caldari, the historic enemy of the Gallente. You get a 50/35/35/10 profile, which is indeed correct for T1 Gallente ships. | There is reason to these resist profiles.
