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.

=== ~~Tech I ships~~ with ~~skill-based~~ armor resistance bonuses ===

=== Ships with armor resistance bonuses ===

Some Amarr ships, all Sisters of Eve ships, and the Triglavian battlecruiser, the [[Drekavac]], have bonuses to their armor resistances. The bonus resistance is 4% for each level of the pilot's applicable racial ship skill.
