Ships & Modules

I would like to know if you use them and for what?
I have to see a single kill mails with one fitted..

They are for tanking a steady amount of damage over a prolonged time.

Since the nature of damage in PvP can generally be described as bursty, they become less appealing there overall.

In those PvP situations, where you could use them, they are also limited to specific scenarios: scenarios where you presume to out-tank your opponent. The problem with those scenarios is that they are both uncommon in today's number-gank oriented game and in the situations where it could apply there are other superior options (eg., smaller scale fights with heavy resources; where it's more common to use capital refitting to achieve similar goals with better effect).

To put it short, but in complicated terms:
Most PvP-fights today do not have a zero-casualty-vision, instead, they operate by extending life-expectancy (measured in time). So they are all about surviving long enough to make differences, whereas the module is based around the concept of surviving long enough for the module to kick in and save you, period.

If I remember correctly they will change more % per cycle in Retribution.

thanks guys i was thinking putting one on a pilgrim as most opf the times you solo a target and there for had time to adjust ..

I used it on every ship I can pilot cruiser and up on Bucky test server and tbh it's crap in it's current state. It needs revised from the ground up or it will be another unused module to add to the pile.

The RAH is the single best tank mod on a super.

I use it on my mission dominix. I managed to free up a low slot by using it, and with it I fit another damage module.

have one on my ishtar. not bad, but why didn't armor tankers didn't get such overpowered module like asb

Its crap by reputation for a reason, it might work well on Scaps but let's be honest here...most ppl don't fly scaps so to say the module is good cause it works on 1 class of ships isn't very accurate. Also because a ship can handle the capacitor price the module costs doesn't make it good either, it was designed to offer resists where they were needed on a gradual basis...it does this rather poorly making the module altogether undesireable in most circumstances when compared to the alternatives available. My thoughts on how to fix it would be to make the cycle time 50% of what it is now and increase the resists.

That's the really crazy thing about RAHs and ASBs, it's as if they were deliberately designed to accentuate the tanking imbalances. ASBs skewed solo/small-gang even further towards shield, while RAHs have skewed capital tanking even further towards armour. Crazy.
