Hi all,
i was thinking about this group of skills, indeed usefull for armor tanking ships, and a question born in my brain....
at lvl 5 all this skills give:

  • to active hardeners 15% when modules are inactive.


  • to passive modules 25% more resistance


Tell me if i'm wrong.
At this point are passive modules better than active ones?


A t2 armor hardener give +55% specific resistance OR 15% when inactive plus has activation cost

A t2 energized membrane give +37.5% spec resistance PLUS 25% from skills TOTAL 62.5%

A t2 plating, although it's the less protective, give 26.4% specific resistance PLUS 25% from skills

So if the math is correct energized membrane, not just has no cap needind, also give more protection (+7.5%) than active modules i.e. Armor Hardeners.

Am i right?

but if it's x1.25

the note: To active armor hardeners: 3% bonus per skill level to Armor Explosive resistance when the modules are not active
To passive armor hardeners: 5% bonus per skill level to Armor Explosive resistance

isnt that correct.....

It doesnt say that each lvl give you the 5% of the module's resistance

CCP has never been good at giving proper description of how things work. But anyhow, the skill adds 5% of the modules res pr skill level.
Wich at lvl 5 is 37,5 x 1.25 so you should get 46% or something (to lazy to do the math atm)

I think it's pretty obvious that's what they do, it doesn't say it increase the resistance by 5 percentage points.

Primarily, the point is if you are utilizing active modules, and happen to get neuted to Hell and back, and your active modules get shut off, you still have some resists left so that your ship isn't just an overglorified blob of tin foil and some string.

With the exception of the very attractive Gallente String, also known as G-String for short.
