Fitting Your Ship

Basic fitting "do's and don't" for new players

Basics

Tanking

Is basically "way to keep you ship alive under fire" my numerous ways like increasing your shield/armour resists to reduce incoming damage, increasing armour/shield points to make u take more damage before blowing up, repairing taken damage, or avoiding it by flying faster than enemy's cannons can track.

Armor tank

Modules used:

• Armor Repairer - Repairs certain amount of HP at end of the cycle, and cycle is quite long.
• Energized Adaptive Nano Membrane - EANM - comes in "omni" variation with little bit of all 4 resist or in version resisting to specific dmg type like Energized Reflective Membrane. Usually it's better to use active version of "resistance" specific just because it provides more resits
• Adaptive Nano Plating -ANP - less effective version of above. On plus side, it does not use any CPU and only 1 PG so might be useful on "tight" fits
• Armor hardeners - Active version of EANM, have much higher resists, but doesn't come in "omni" variety and uses a bit of cap to work.
• Plate - Increases ship's Armor HP and it's weigth, so it's slower and less agile. Meta 4 (Rolled Tungsten) is best one, have same HP, weights less and is easier to fit than T2 version. Hovewer it's usually also more expensive.

Active armor tank

Depends on using repairer and hardening modules to counter stream of incoming damage. Rarely used in PVP because PVP dmg tends to be bursty (a lot of dmg in short amount of time) so in worst case ship's armor can be melted before repper can cycle. Suitable for PVE when stream of incoming dmg is rather steady and not that big.

Buffer armor tank

Used mostly in PVP and WH, depends on increasing total EHP of ship by increasing resists and armor HP by plates

Shield tank

Modules used:

• Shield Booster and Shield Boost Amplifier - first one repairs certain amount of shield's HP, second boosts repaired amount.
• Shield Hardener - comes in omni (Invunerability) and dmg specific varietes, this is active module increasing shield resistances.
• Resistance amplifier - passive version of above, doesn't have "omni" version and have lesser resists, it's very rarely used xcept when u need tank that's immune to cap drain
• Shield Extender - increases shield's HP and ship sig radius, so it's a bit easier to hit
• [

So what to do when u are planning fit for your new ship. First, you should specify

= Purpurose

of your fit. What is primary and secondary purpurose of ship u wanna fly, what are things u need and what are things u would like your should would do. Trying to build ship that does everything, usually ends in ship doing everything bad.

PVE

This is quite simple, first thing u want is enougth tank to keep you alive, after that most DPS u can get. For PVE passive or active tank, because rats have steady damage over long time
