Last expansion, hull repair drones.
This one, hull rigs.

Slowly, hull tanking is becoming a thing!

One of ours, ten of theirs.

Best Meltdown Ever.

I'm not really worried about this. People have already had tools to protect themselves against gankers in hisec, and the typical victims are the ones who don't use them. Giving them one more life-saving option to ignore isn't going to stop the real idiots from autopiloting a cargo-fit Orca through Uedama.

Try just almost every gallente frigate. Taranis is a great example...and a more obscure one is my beloved tackle helios ♥

hull tanking as a whole is something that needs work if you expect people to hull tank anything


Would be good for Orca tanks...

Very cool! Please please consider changing the penalty to max cargo, however. Would succinctly balance both the usage of them on Orcas and make them a decent option for Gallente ships (I'm looking at you, hull tanked Algos).

Hull Tanking Elite

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.

Whilst I don't like the idea of these sorts of rigs existing at all I object especially to how they are stat wise here. The downside ought to be to cargo hold capacity and the bonus in line with the armor rigs.

However I will reemphasise that I don't like the idea at all as this looks mostly like a high sec nerf, where else is the demand for these sorts of rigs?
You should know better, if it doesn't boost yield or cargo most of your "customers" aren't interested. It's hard enough to get miners to fit a damage control let alone rigs.

In the beginning there was nothing, which exploded.

Um, okay. Now please halve orca base hull hp, 500k EHP orcas are not funny.

Hull rigs on orcas, with DC and Bulkhead. Yeah, not looking forward to trying to pop those.


Ah! Hull tanking at it's finest.

The market may be limited but this is a humorous and good addition.

For many Gallente ships, if you want full-on hardcore buffer tank then this will be the way to go.


I can actually see this being somewhat dangerous if pulled off correctly. You would have quite a few slots to do ewar and dps with, and even some light builds like the shield thorax could easily be appropriated for strong hull tanking, making them very deadly indeed.

Also...gank cats wtih big hull tanks. Stew on that for a a bit...

Penalties for armor and hull HP rigs should be agility, not speed...

Toying with fitting stats figuring in for extra hull hp with these rigs. I am seriously concerned about the effect this will be having on gallente ships. For example...I am pulling a pvp tackle enyo with 11k ehp for 4k hull hp and over 400 dps.

Holy hell...pro hull tanks are actually going to be a thing in pvp now. @_@

Ok, so these confirm that there will be T2 freighters, and that they will have rig slots, but possibly no mod slots.

I was going to get one of the painted Rorquals when they became available to be my new Battle Rorq, but I had not decided what rigs to stick on it.

This solves that problem.
