==Don't mix tanks==

If you're going to tank (and not all fits include a tank) either shield tank or armor tank. Don't shield tank and armor tank in the same fit. Most of the time a tank takes up a substantial proportion of your powergrid, your CPU and either your midslots (for a shield tank) or your lowslots (armor tank). If you fit a shield tank, you can put useful things (damage modules, speed and agility modules &c) in your lowslots, and if you armor tank you can put useful things (tackling modules, electronic warfare modules, propulsion modules &c) in your midslots. If you mount two tanks, even if they're both buffer tanks, your ship won't be very useful except as a target.

You can find the restrictions on ships and modules during wartime (already linked in the opening paragraph) [[Ship Requirements and Restrictions|here]]. During wartime pilots who wish to fly battlecruisers or battleships must be able to fit a T2 tank (either armor or shield); the skills required to do that are outlined [[Full T2 Tank|here]].
