PvP dichotomy, a poem
We tank our ships against damage, and think nothing of it. We omni-tank and fit many types of tanking mods to mitigate this negative impact on our ships. Anyone who whines about the need to tank ships against damage is mocked.
We tank our ships against specific types of damage, and think nothing of it. If our opponents favor lasers, we fit specific tanking mods to mitigate against laser damage. Anyone who whines about the need to tank ships against lasers when you're fighting laser-armed ships is mocked.
We tank our ships against neuts, and think nothing of it. We contemplate the best ways to keep a ship operating under neut pressure, fitting cap boosters or cap power relays to mitigate this issue. Anyone who whines about the need to keep a ship's capacitor up under neut pressure is mocked.
We tank our ships against target painters, and think little of it. We look for ways to keep the sig radius of our ships down, and work up whole doctrines for whole fleets around the concept of small sig radius. Anyone who whines about the need to keep sig radius down is mocked.
We tank our ships against damps, and think little of it. Sensor boosters are often carried, but more often we come up with flying strategies for whole fleets to reduce or eliminate the effectiveness of damps. Anyone who whines about the need to mitigate against damps is mocked.
We tank our ships against TDs, and think little of it. We look for ways to mitigate the effect of TDs, and fit Tracking Computers and Tracking Enhancers, and often rigs, to mitigate the effect of any TDs used against us and make our ships track more effectively. Anyone who whines about the need to carry these mods is mocked.
We refuse to tank our ships against jamming. ECCM modules sit in our hangars unused -- or more often, are not purchased at all. Smartbombs to counter jam drones are almost never used -- or more often, are not purchased at all. Instead of tanking against jamming or coming up with anti-jamming doctrines or strategies, we whine about it or demand CCP nerf it. Anyone who whines about the need to tank against jamming is celebrated.
I've never understood this dichotomy.
