These modules will restore, extend, or increase the resistance of your shields. Finding a proper balance between shield extenders, shield hardeners, and shield rechargers is essential for a passive shield tank. Shield Tanking focuses on maximizing your shields' ability to withstand and/or repair damage.

• Shields heal themselves over time at a natural recharge rate. Armor and Hull damage taken is going to sit there until it is repaired.
• After shields are exhausted there is still some armor and hull remaining, leaving a little more room for error.
• Active shield boosters repair faster than active armor repairers, meaning you can effectively tank more incoming DPS
• Shield tank modules & rigs don't affect your speed or maneuverability, thus keeping you fast and agile.
• Low slots are left free for damage modules, etc.

• There's a smaller range of different modules to choose from when shield tanking than when armor tanking, giving you less choice in how to fit your ship.
• Although shield boosters repair faster than armor repairers, they are also less capacitor efficient.
• Shield tank modules & rigs can increase your signature radius, that attribute of every ship that affects how fast other people target you, and how easy it is to hit you with turrets & missiles.
• Passive resistance modules are less effective than the armor equivalents, and there is no single passive resistance module that boosts all shield resistances at once.
• Shield tanking modules are almost exclusively fit in mid slots, competing with tackling, EWAR, and propulsion modules.

Active module which restores shields.

• Variation: Ancillary Shield Boosters
• Active module that can be loaded with Cap Boosters to very efficiently repair shields, but with a long reload time.

Passive module which increases the amount restored by Shield Boosters.

Passive module which increase shield regeneration.

Passive module which increases shield hit points while increasing signature radius.

Active module which increases shield resistances a great deal while using capacitor. Comes in 5 variations, one for each damage type, and a universal one.

Passive module which increases shield resistances a bit. Comes in 4 variations, one for each damage type.
