This is good stimulating discussion.
Here's another fit to throw in the dogpile.
Afterburner- Code:
[Inquisitor, Inquisitor - Armor AB 3S Cap Injected 9.4kehp]
IFFA Compact Damage Control
400mm Rolled Tungsten Compact Plates
Energized Adaptive Nano Membrane II
Energized Adaptive Nano Membrane II
1MN Y-S8 Compact Afterburner
Small Electrochemical Capacitor Booster I, Navy Cap Booster 400
Small Solace Scoped Remote Armor Repairer
Small Solace Scoped Remote Armor Repairer
Small Solace Scoped Remote Armor Repairer
Small Anti-Explosive Pump I
Small Trimark Armor Pump I
Small Trimark Armor Pump I
This fit may look similar to some of the others, but the principle difference is the rigs. Here's the problem with using "rainbow" resist rigs: Stacking Penalties.
Stacking Penalties is a subject that the Wiki covers adequately enough. In this respect I don't feel the need to explain what the subject is. But in particular, trimark armor pumps, bulkhead rigs and core defense field extenders are buffer rigs which are
not subject to stacking penalties: they only get better.
Never use buffer rigs on active tank setups: buffer rigs amplify the effectiveness of buffer modules (shield extenders/armor plates, the bigger the better), if you don't have buffer modules then don't use buffer rigs. (Some types of tanks like hybrid tanks, such as X-L ASB + LSE or armor repper + armor plate setups go with resist rigs in shield or auxiliary nano pumps for armor.)
My fit above has 9.4k EHP against omni damage, and can only get better. Let's pretend that you have a max skilled Pontifex pilot who came along to give you armor links (command bursts) for armor resists (Armor Energizing) and armor hit points (Armor Reinforcement). In that case, if you ran resist rigs, your links are also going to be factored in the stacking penalty equation, but with trimarks, mine only gets better.
Against omni damage (no mindlink all V Pontifex w/T2 links):
- Your fit, base: 8.261k EHP
- Your fit, linked: 9.863k EHP
- My fit, base: 9.486k EHP
- My fit, linked: 11.670k EHP
That said your ship setup does perform better IF your reps are holding. Yours reps roughly 302 EHP/s against itself (with links) while mine does 280 EHP/s (with links), which is nice. In principle, the ability of logistics to hold depends a lot on the situation, and mirrors the same concerns seen with other ship setups, such as Guardians.
If your logi are getting plastered into low armor before reps can land, given lock time and end-of-cycle repairs, then you definitely need more buffer. If your reps are being fully applied but are not holding, then you need more resistances. This is a situation that isn't something we can adequately anticipate: after all, if an Inquisitor is moving extremely slowly, it can be alpha'd by a Tornado, for what it's worth.
These kind of particulars are why I argued fervently in the Guardian thread, but I can't do much more about that subject. I don't want to drift too far out off topic here, but in particular, the better your buffer is, the more you also gain from Slave implant sets. While I think the idea of an Inquisitor pilot using a HG Slave implant set is rather daft, it is a subject that when extended out further to other fitting principles of other ships that we have to consider why we do certain things.
EDIT: I forgot, also: If you can't use T2 EANMs, you should use Meta 4 ANPs.
