Tanking 101A

Generally there is few type of tanks

Armor - Rep tank
for pvp usually 2x reps + resist mods ( rep rigs) and (or) damage mods) cap booster is a must for pve 1/2 reps resist mods and cap moods idea is to keep your cap stable so u could run everything 24/7


HP Tank
works wery well for pvp, no point for pve - large armor plates/ armor amount rigs/ resitence stuff, cap booster usually just to keep gns going

Shield Tank - best for pve

Active - usually goes with shield booster, shield resist mods and power diagnostic systems in low

Passive - goes with shield extenders and shield recharge mods


PVE setups dont include warp disruptors and, in most cases, capacitor boosters.
So you have some spare midslots to fit what you like. For pve fits the goal is to able to maintain your tank until all rats are killed.

PVP tank setups differ from pve, cause usually you have to fit it for tanking as much damage as possible for a short period of time.
You do this by increasing hp buffer (putting armor plates or shield extenders) or hp regenerating amount (putting shield boosters or armor repairers).
