Overview
The Armor category contains the key skills for Passive and Active Armor Tanking.
Most combat pilots will want to train at least some of the Armor Tanking skills.
The following are the skills in the Armor section (in alphabetical order):
- Armor Layering - Skill at installing upgraded armor plates efficiently and securely.
- [[Skills:Armor Resistance Phasing]] - Bonus to reactive armor hardeners.
- Capital Remote Armor Repair Systems - Allows use of capital-sized remote armor repair modules.
- Capital Remote Hull Repair Systems - Allows use of capital-sized remote hull repair modules.
- Capital Repair Systems - Allows use of capital-sized local hull and armor repair modules.
- EM Armor Compensation - Bonus to EM armor plating.
- Explosive Armor Compensation - Bonus to explosive armor plating.
- Hull Upgrades - Bonus to armor hit points. Also enables certain modules, like Expanded Cargoholds and Inertial Stabilizers.
- Kinetic Armor Compensation - Bonus to kinetic armor plating.
- Mechanics - Bonus to structure hit points.
- Remote Armor Repair Systems - Allows use of remote armor repair modules.
- Remote Hull Repair Systems - Allows use of remote hull repair modules.
- Repair Systems - Allows use of local hull and armor repair modules.
- [[Skills:Thermic Armor Compensation]] - Bonus to thermic armor hardeners.
Armor Layering

This doesn't help active hardeners at all but can really help passive hardeners, which see some use in PvP fits. A PvP-focused armor-tanking pilot should train this skill and the three other 'X Armor Compensation' skills to III or IV in the medium-long term. |

Hull Upgrades
Skill at maintaining your ship's armor and installing hull upgrades like expanded cargoholds and inertial stabilizers. Grants a 5% bonus to armor hit points per skill level.

| Prerequisites:
|
Mechanics I |
| I required for:
|
Tech 1 and Faction Resistance Platings; 50/100mm Tech 1 and Faction Armor Plates; Tech 1 and Faction Damage Controls; Inertial Stabilizers I; Expanded Cargohold I; Nanofiber Internal Structure I; Overdrive Injector System I |
| II required for:
|
200/400mm Tech 1 and Faction Armor Plates; Overdrive Injector System II; Expanded Cargohold II; Inertial Stabilizers II |
| III required for:
|
800/1600mm Tech 1 and Faction Armor Plates; Tech 1 and Faction Armor Hardeners; Tech 1 and Faction Energized Platings; Reactive Armor Hardener; 50/100mm Tech 2 Armor Plates |
| IV required for:
|
200mm Tech 2 Armor Plates; Tech 2 Resistance Platings; Damage Control II; 25000mm Tech 1 Armor Plates; EM Armor Compensation; Explosive Armor Compensation; Kinetic Armor Compensation; [[Skills:Thermic Armor Compensation]]
|
| V required for:
|
400/800/1600/25000mm Tech 2 Armor Plates; Tech 2 Armor Hardeners; Tech 2 Energized Platings; Capital Repair Systems
|
| Notes:
|
The raw armor hitpoints bonus from this skill is very useful. Level IV lets you use T2 Damage Controls (making this an essential train for any PvP fitting); level V lets you use T2 Energized Adaptive Nano Membranes, so to fit a full T2 armor tank you will probably need to train this to V. Which you should probably do anyway for the hitpoints bonus. |

| Prerequisites:
|
None |
| Notes:
|
The basic skill for this whole category. Mechanics is a quick train and comes with a nice bonus -- although hull tanking of any kind is unwise, most of the time, extra structure is more overall EHP and may make the difference in a close fight. You need level IV to use T2 medium armor repairers, and level V to use T2 large ones. |
Remote Armor Repair Systems
Operation of remote armor repair systems. 5% reduced capacitor need for remote armor repair system modules per skill level.

| Prerequisites:
|
Mechanics III, Repair Systems II |
| Notes:
|
Level IV is required to use T2 large remote armor reppers. Although people often prefer the meta 4 'Solace' repper, the skill is still useful for reducing reppers' cap requirements. Key for anyone who flies in RR battleship gangs or flies an armor logistics ship. |

Operation of remote hull repair systems. 5% reduced capacitor need for remote hull repair system modules per skill level.

The required skill for local armor repairers. You need level IV to use T2 large armor repairers. This is an important skill for anyone who uses active armor tanking, and since it's a short train you may as well take it to V. |
Thermic Armor Compensation
5% bonus to thermal resistance per level for Armor Coatings and Energized Platings
