Reflective, Thermic, Magnetic, and Reactive plates offer slightly larger resistances for a single damage type; EM, Thermal, Kinetic and Explosive damage respectively. Adaptive Nano Plating offers a smaller amount of resistance to all damage types.

The Energized Adaptive Nano Membrane (EANM) should be considered the cornerstone of a good Armor Tank. Using three Tech 2 EANMs can yield more resistance than using one of each type of damage specific Armor Hardeners (discussed below). Note: additional modules will not further amplify this effect because of the Stacking Penalty.

As the name implies, these modules increase your shield's resistance to damage. These modules have two distinct advantages: They are the passive, which means they do not require capacitor to function and they are easy to fit; requiring a moderate amount of CPU and a single unit of Powergrid.
