Shield Mid Slot Modules


Overview

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.


Advantages

  • 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.
