Tanking: Difference between revisions

Line 140:

While typically associated with Armor tanking; damage Control Units (DCU) are handy modules that add a small amount of resistance to all damage types for Shields, Armor, and a significant amount of resistance to Structure. They require the same amount of CPU as an Energized Plate and an insignificant amount of capacitor to function. These are active modules that must be turned on in order to function. Unlike Shield Hardeners however, the protection offered by the Damage control unit is all or nothing, so remember to turn it on. Only one DCU can be active at a time, so it is pointless to fit more than one.

~~Photon Scattering~~, ~~Heat~~ Dissipation, ~~Ballistic~~ Deflection and ~~Explosion Dampening~~ amplifiers offer resistances for a single damage type; EM, Thermal, Kinetic and Explosive damage respectively. The Adaptive Invulnerability Field offers a smaller amount of resistance to all damage types.

EM Ward, Thermic Dissipation, Kinetic Deflection and Explosive Deflection amplifiers offer resistances for a single damage type; EM, Thermal, Kinetic and Explosive damage respectively. The Adaptive Invulnerability Field offers a smaller amount of resistance to all damage types.

Shield hardeners offer more damage resistance than amplifiers, but require more CPU and a small amount of capacitor to function. These are active modules that must be turned on in order to offer full protection, which means if you forget to turn them on, or run out of capacitor your Hardeners will provide only a limited amount of passive protection.
