They may not be "the right" implants for a freighter, but if your ganking freighters and see one with resist mods you have to take into account that they may very well be using slaves (afterall they decided to get as much EHP as possible) and since everyone and their grandmother have multiple accounts its also veryt realistic that there is a booster somewhere.

Hull tank it, I've ignored a lot of triple RF Bulkhead freighters on gank fleets simply because that is a LOT of tank compared to what they used to have. There are also hull tanking implants and such which can give you an edge. You can even combine those with shield or armor implants, freighters actually do well dual tanked believe it or not.


Now onto ASA's in particular.
I don't think these are a good idea because low slot Shield resist mods could in theory boost certain ships to stupid tank amounts. Imagine a Quad ASB Golem with a 160K DPS tank hot ( yes its possible i do it to troll the test server, in the Words of Romana Erebus "ASB EVERYTHING" )
Anyways now you add these and you could be looking at a 200K+ DPS tank. Now this is an extreme situation of course but i think you would see the point in the possible level of OP these could generate if used in certain scenarios

I would argue slaves are the right implant, i posted back when the change first came out about how to get the obby and provi to near 600K EHP this way. And thats a tank worth some respect
