With max skills, Hg Halos with Omega , and a commandship alt to reduce sig radius can you effectively sig tank a loki ? Could you post a possible fit ? Would it be an armor or shield loki since shields increase sig radius?

The tracking formula is heavily weighted towards speed over sig. You might want to consider Snakes instead of Halos. You can still get a shield Loki under medium guns, nbd, just remember that it's very likely you're going to be outrunning your own tracking.

Erm...you sure about that? As far as the tracking formula is concerned, there's no difference between doubling your speed and halving your signature radius. They're multiplied together and all that matters is their product.

Now, speed multipliers are a lot easier to come by than signature radius reduction, so there is that to consider.

Sig for tanking. It's transversal, not actual speed that matters. After direction and distance is taken into consideration, sig reduction is more useful most of the time if it's only for tanking.

You'll be taking very little dmg from tengu, or any missile boat. It fares less well against lucky volleys by gunboats over distance.
