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):

Icon skillbook2.png Prerequisites: Hull Upgrades IV
Notes.png Notes: 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.

Icon skillbook2.png 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.
Implants.png Attributes: Intelligence.pngMemory.png
Multiplier.png Multiplier: 2x
Isk.png Price: 85k ISK
Alpha.png Alpha max level: V
Icon skillbook2.png Prerequisites: Mechanics I
Icon skillbook2.png 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
Icon skillbook2.png II required for: 200/400mm Tech 1 and Faction Armor Plates; Overdrive Injector System II; Expanded Cargohold II; Inertial Stabilizers II
Icon skillbook2.png 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
Icon skillbook2.png IV required for: 200mm Tech 2 Armor Plates; Tech 2 Resistance Platings; Damage Control II; 25000mm Tech 1 Armor Plates; Icon skillbook2.png EM Armor Compensation; Icon skillbook2.png Explosive Armor Compensation; Icon skillbook2.png Kinetic Armor Compensation; Icon skillbook2.png [[Skills:Thermic Armor Compensation]]
Icon skillbook2.png V required for: 400/800/1600/25000mm Tech 2 Armor Plates; Tech 2 Armor Hardeners; Tech 2 Energized Platings; Icon skillbook2.png Capital Repair Systems
Notes.png 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.



Icon skillbook2.png Kinetic Armor Compensation

5% bonus to kinetic resistance per level for Armor Coatings and Energized Platings
Implants.png Attributes: Intelligence.pngMemory.png
Multiplier.png Multiplier: 2x

Icon skillbook2.png Prerequisites: Hull Upgrades IV
Notes.png Notes: 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.



Icon skillbook2.png Mechanics

Skill at maintaining the mechanical components and structural integrity of a spaceship. 5% bonus to structure hit points per skill level.
Implants.png Attributes: Intelligence.pngMemory.png
Multiplier.png Multiplier: 1x
Isk.png Price: 30k ISK
Alpha.png Alpha max level: V
Icon skillbook2.png Prerequisites: None

Notes.png 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.



Icon skillbook2.png Remote Armor Repair Systems

Operation of remote armor repair systems. 5% reduced capacitor need for remote armor repair system modules per skill level.
Implants.png Attributes: Intelligence.pngMemory.png
Multiplier.png Multiplier: 2x
Isk.png Price: 100k ISK
Alpha.png Alpha max level: III
Icon skillbook2.png Prerequisites: Mechanics III, Repair Systems II
Icon skillbook2.png I required for: Tech 1 and Faction Small Remote Armor Repairers; Tech 1 and Faction Capital Remote Armor Repairers; Small Ancillary Remote Armor Repairer, Capital Remote Ancillary Armor Repairer
Icon skillbook2.png II required for: Tech 1 and Faction Medium Remote Armor Repairers; Medium Ancillary Remote Armor Repairer
Icon skillbook2.png III required for: Tech 1 Large Remote Armor Repairers; Small Remote Armor Repairer II; Tech 1 Armor Maintenance Bots
Icon skillbook2.png IV required for: Medium Remote Armor Repairer II; Large Remote Armor Repairer II; Tech 2 Armor Maintenance Bots
Icon skillbook2.png V required for: Capital Remote Armor Repairer II; Icon skillbook2.png Capital Remote Armor Repair Systems
Notes.png 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.



Icon skillbook2.png Remote Hull Repair Systems

Operation of remote hull repair systems. 5% reduced capacitor need for remote hull repair system modules per skill level.
Implants.png Attributes: Intelligence.pngMemory.png

Icon skillbook2.png Repair Systems

Operation of armor/hull repair modules. 5% reduction in repair systems duration per skill level.
Implants.png Attributes: Intelligence.pngMemory.png
Multiplier.png Multiplier: 1x
Isk.png Price: 45k ISK
Alpha.png Alpha max level: V
Icon skillbook2.png Prerequisites: Mechanics I
Notes.png Notes: 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.



Icon skillbook2.png Thermic Armor Compensation

5% bonus to thermal resistance per level for Armor Coatings and Energized Platings
Implants.png Attributes: Intelligence.pngMemory.png
