Why aren't there resistance mods for hull tanking? (damage control and bulkheads should not be all inclusive for it). Amarr ships have the highest armor so they excel in armor tanking. Caldari excel in shields, Minnies are a balance of both, and Gallente has highest hull hp. Give gallente ships hull resistance bonuses and hull repping bonuses!

No it's not, gallente ships used to hull tank near release, but CCP changed that as it was stupid.

I once made a Moros in EFT that had enough ehp to tank a doomsday. Loooots of bulkheads.

No, it would take too much balancing to make it any good. There is so much **** that would need to be changed Mods, ships, add in rigs, just to make it work, that it is not worth it by a long shot.

Remember bulkheads Taranis?

On a side note, I would say there should be some way to enhance the hull tank of a ship. I for one have been in many situations where having that extra hull hp from a Gallente hull saved my butt fighting a hull from another race. Example, Hurricane vs Talos in a brawl. Other example, Catalyst vs Thrasher. It really isn't something very relevant in a fleet fight but for solo and small gang pvp hull 'tanking' is some reality, especially with Damage Controls.

I'm of the very biased opinion that every ship needs a damage control, even if it is shield tanking. So if there were to be a way to make Damage Controls more effective in hull, say an ancillary Damage control which gives an extra 30-40% resists to Structure (yes something really, really high) could provide some interesting tactics. Such module would act like ASBs and AARs, taking some form of charge and have a fast cycle to make it so you can only use it for 30 seconds or less as a last ditch effort. This makes it interesting in shield tanked ships where you could trade a Nano for one of these and perhaps stay on the field for that extra 10 seconds needed to escape or to manage an epic kill.

gallente is armor tanking race hull tanking is overrated gallente is not

Correct. I used Gallente as an example simply for the fact they may stand to benefit the most from such a buff, and thus would be the more obvious choice for using hull tank mods. Hull tanking as a whole should be addressed

You, Sir, get a like for making me smile! Awesome description!

Hull Tanking Certificate:

This certificate represents an elite level of competence in the infamous practice of "hull tanking". It certifies that the holder can fully use all modules relating to hull tanking. The holder is aware that "real men hull tank", and also that hull tanking is really dumb. With this certificate, you've maximised your ability to rely on your structural systems to absorb damage, although hopefully you're smart enough to know what a daft idea that is.

I don't care if they say it is dumb, it takes guts to stick in a fight like that past shields and armor.

Buff that ability!

Get some lulz.
