Yesterday on my tanker alt, I was running my Gunlogi fit with the following:
Highs:
Basic Heavy Shield Booster
Enhanced Shield Hardener
Militia Railgun Damage modifier (alt still has pretty scrubby skills)
Lows:
Basic Light Armor Repairer
Basic 60mm Armor Plates
Weapons:
80GJ Particle Accelerator (whatever the ADV rail is I forgot)
I was doing very well and I feel like I am getting tanks down good. I am on the outskirts of the map in between our MCC and theirs, taking out every militia tank I see with relative ease. I got blown up by one Jihad Jeep that i didn't see coming he snuck up behind me and my hardener was down.
Next tank I am doing the same thing PWNING noobs left and right, when I hear the sound of an incoming Orbital and the light rght ON TOP OF MY TANK! I quickly activate my hardener and my booster and start to back up as fast as I can (no fuel injectors equipped!) And I get down to maybe a max of 1/3 shields but quickly boost it back up. I never thought I would be able to tank an Orbital Strike. Anyone else done this?

Pre 1.8 Mad could tank orbitals left and right.
To know the true path, but yet, to never follow it. That is possibly the gravest sin.

what kind of OB
EVE ones tanks can survive the hybrid ones, but if it's a laser. GG
Warbages i normally don't stick around to find out.
maybe with enough hardeners on.

I've survived them a few times in my soma pre-1.7. Orbitals aren't the devastating beams of doom they used to be so it's not that impressive for a tank to survive them; hell I've survived them in my heavy suit.
CCP: Is it the most asinine way possible to do this? Yes. Then that's how we're doing it.

Two complex hardeners and a complex shield extender two rail tanks had me pinned so I couldn't move and I tanked the orbital with a decent amount of shield left.

I stood in the middle of an OB in my scout suit, crouched down and the beams fell around me while I remained unscathed. It was pretty awesome. Now whenever I see an OB, I crouch..sometimes lol.

Well I did and they wasted 2000Wp on one tank and it didn't even work. So what now? LOL |

i rarely died from OB's in chrome. but i decided to try and tank a 1.7 OB. got my gunny with 3 complex hardeners and waited.
got lucky and as soon as i saw the lasers i switched them all on.
pretty intense, left me with 100 shield left, totally staying still. i WOULDNT recommend this to anyone,
even vet tankers like me, theres just no reason to test it yourself if i already have. plus it was just for experimentation purposes anyway. if you see an OB, flip on your hardeners and run lol.
VAYU! I CHOOSE YOU!
