There is a reason for 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 faction they were historically at war with. The warring factions and their damage types are shown in the table to the right. 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.

=== T1 ships with armor resistance bonuses ===

The table on the right shows the bonus resistances given to each different ship type. These bonuses are applied to both shields and armor by taking a racial or default T1 resist profile and multiplying the remaining vulnerability by the resistance bonus.

To calculate a T2 ship's armor resists, start with the ship's T1 racial profile. Reduce its remaining vulnerability to its enemy's primary damage type by 75%, and to the secondary damage type by 50%. For example, let's take the {{sh|Muninn}}. Start with the Minmatar T1 racial profile of 60/35/25/10. The Minmatar's enemy is the Amarr, whose damage types are EM and Thermal. Reduce the remaining EM vulnerability of (100 - 60) = 40 by 75% to 10, giving (100 - 10) = 90% armor EM resistance. Similarly, reduce the remaining thermal vulnerability of (100 - 35) = 65 by 50% to 32.5, giving (100 - 32.5) = 67.5% armor thermal resistance. This gives the Muninn an armor resist profile of 90/67.5/25/10.
