Alternatively you could go for high hitpoints and resistance and relay on the hitpoints pool over regen. I donÆt do this but it works for PvE. Fit x2 inv feilds, max extenders and max PDS T2 in the low slots. Passive shield tanking guide click here |

"That is not true. A T2 ferox with passive tank used to be about 10% worse than an active tanked Raven," I have not ran the math yet but didnÆt Kail give a Ferox more then a 10% boost to its tank due to the large hitpoint change?

ôI dont understand what constant,x every one is multiplying by their total shield hp/total shield regen to get their peak shield/sec. I have heard 2.3ö X isnÆt really a constant which is why different people use different numbers. Well x as a peak is a constant but not everyone is talking about peak.
Peak is x2.5 ish itÆs not precisely 2.5 and some people use 2.4 to be on the safe side others do average over a battle so use 2.3. The shorter the battle the smaller the number x is. Very short battles might be 2.0, I tend to do 2.2 my self as average with 2.5 as peak.
If you tank donÆt break use 2.5 If itÆs a long battle 2.4 Med length battle 2.2. Short battle 2.0. Those are just guide lines so modify as needed.

Edited by: Pottsey on 14/12/2006 07:24:31 ôIs using Active Hardys called a Passive tank?ö Yes itÆs still passive for various reasons.
"Are shield rechargers II and SPRII seeded now??? damn I was only away for a month!" Shield Rechargers II have been out for a very long time. SPRII are still not out.

ôNo idea what you mean with above comment...ö I think he means missions without a BCU are very slow and you need 1 BCU at least

Edited by: Pottsey on 05/07/2007 12:04:57 ôStrictly speaking, it uses cap so it could be called semi-passive, as many people doö Not really. Passive tanking is not zero cap. Passive tanking is about no active boosters/repairers so your HP regen is passively on all the time even when your out of cap.
A long time ago it used to be pretty much only passive tanks that ran Invulnerability FieldÆs as only passive tanks had the spare cap to use them.

ôshield tanking has the only true passive tanking in the game.-ô Technically speaking hull or amour plate tanking is still passive tanking. To me Speed tanking with passive modules is also passive tanking but not with an AB or microwarp. Passive shield tanking guide click here |

Edited by: Pottsey on 13/08/2007 15:36:21 ôSay, does anybody actually know the formula that determines recharge rate a given shield level? I'd kinda like to see what that curve looks like.ö Being to lazy to make my own up going borrow the cap one http://www.nada.kth.se/~ksig/myndir/figure4.jpg Above is cap but the shield curve is almost the same. Shields are a little higher hitting 2.5 and peak at 30% Well rounded to 30% it was 29. something.

Edited by: Pottsey on 23/08/2007 16:51:41 ôI have to dissagree with this statement at least on the PVP front. With NOS/Neuts....., you're screwed rather quickly. You end up with base resists when your cap runs out, Not really the active hardeners turn into passive hardeners assuming you have decent passive skills. Not as good as pure passive hardners but better then base resists.
Passive tanking means your HP regen 24/7 passively all the time no matter what without activating modules. Passive tanking does not mean 0 cap usage. In fact when passive tanking first started they where pretty much the only pilots to use invul fields due to the massive 30+cap/s drain or what ever it was back then. Active tanks just didnÆt have the cap to run them.
I do agree PvP passive hardeners are often better then active. ItÆs just I still class active hardeners as ok for a passive tanks. ThereÆs no point letting all, that cap go to waste. To me passive tanking is all about the HP regen. Resistance, modules and weapons do not need to be passive or cap free.
EDIT: Shiftless I like your way of quoteing that looks pretty neat. Easy to read.
