i like active armor tanking...I know it's not anywhere near efficient or optimal at all. But for some reason I've always liked it. I wish there were some for amarr though instead of being gallente only. sad face. that is all.

Laser ships will never make good active tanks. They're waaaay too dependent on capacitor.

Ed: The Sac and Damnation can put out a good active tank. The Prophecy can too, because nobody fits it with lasers. And when it's a drone boat: aww yeah. Don't focus so much on the 7.5% rep bonus because the 5% resist bonus is about as good and better in a lot of ways (1 + .075*5 = 1.375 vs 1 / (1-0.05*5)) = 1.333).

I'm an idiot, don't mind me.

I'd like that to but lazers suck Alot of cap
Now a nice solution would be active armor tanking coupled with missiles.
Now that would.be nice

like a khanid (sp) ship with an active tank bonus. the prophecy could be cool if re-done to that.


you both are right though the cap intensity of lasers and active tank make a bad mix. i just like them both so much, having to go back to a station to repair constantly is annoying and I always feel cool when my dual reps hit and bam I've got my armor back.

You don't need an active tank bonus. The active tank bonus is *strictly inferior* to the resist bonus Amarr ships get.

There would have to be a ridiculous cap bonus that pilots would just ignore to run cap stable deathwagons.

Yeah, and blasters aren't cap dependent... Unless "AAB" comes out, active rep bonus needs to die in fire.X

Well, blasters aren't as cap dependent. :)

the 5% resistance bonus is stronger for both active tanking AND passive tanking than the 7.5% rep amount bonus gallente get.

not sure what that comment was for. I was merely seeing if I had all the ships with resists bonuses listed.
