Basically, (I'll try to dumb this down for non-EVE players), I was in a Scout, built to be too fast for anything to hit. Everyone else is running Heavies with TOOOOOOOONS of lazors. There were enough lasers to where I couldn't even see my ship through them. They rarely hit me, but if they did, they crushed me. Like, 80 damage per shot with just over 1000 eHP type of crushed. (Or at least the Templar was doing 80. Everyone else was probably doing 30, but it was just so much it felt like 80 D:)
So I try it twice with my Scout, and I'm like "Hm, weird, let's try another ship." And this is what I come up with.
Thorax: -Tech 2 ENAM (20% Passive Resist to all damage, IIRC). -Tech 2 Thermic Hardener (Active Resists VS. Thermal Damage) -Tech 2 EM Hardener (Active resists VS. EM Damage)
Note that Lasers do Thermal Damage AND EM Damage at the same time.
I go in on this brand new ship. And I let them take out my shield because lolArmorTanker, and they're now doing something like 3 damage per shot (except the Templar, which was so extreme it was funny. He was either doing 14 damage per shot, or 53, at any point).
So yea. That works.
The only things I ever had to worry about was the Templar (50 damage per shot can still break my ship, even if I picked out a bigger one), which had so much health, it took me forever to get him. Although at one point, I had Energy Vamps on me, which drain my ability to tank. I also was fighting something myself (I took out pretty much the entire room using only drones. The target I was SUPPOSED to be getting, I killed myself), and forgot to run my reps, and the Templar almost got me down to 1/4th armor, but I fixed it. :D
And you made it so that an actual EVE player had no idea what you were talking about. Mission specific hardeners are good, but I suspect you had truly abysmal damage output. Shield tanking for PVE is best because you can stack damage mods whilst having a comparable tank to armour, by the way, but it doesn't always work with T1 Gallente cruisers... :P use an Ishtar

Here's her Warframe Profile. As you can see by watching the video, they get pretty high into the air. I don't know if that's a mod, or she has a boosted jump capability, but yea. It's also a possibility that activated the power just boosts you into the air, but it seemed like they were jumping AND THEN activated the power (also they activated Tail Wind and didn't get boosted into the air). My clan is already working on Researching her, so when I get it, I'll let you know how it is. It's likely that I'll just pay some $$$ to get her, because I just waited 3 days to get Rhino, and it was painful, almost.
She has lower gravity acting on her, it feels like. Tailwind lets you jump pretty high as well, I'm not sure if it'll get better as you upgrade.
I haven't tried dive bomb or turbulence yet, needed to level her up a bit, but the abilities so far seem meh. The ult might be good for CC if it works on high end enemies but it's a bit too unreliable. Tailwind is a cool navigation tool but the damage application is sporadic.
On a side note, bring out your Latron Prime. Jesus - I used triple forma on it and now it's been buffed madly.
