Nope.
All it is is sitting there waiting for the other guy to do something silly - like contribute to his team.
If you thought it was all about 'who could stack the most hardeners', you might just be a bad yourself.
There are a few other modules in high slots... some of which are surprisingly viable.

Which are? They are all bad. I used to use extenders and amps. Extenders don't do **** against blasters nor rails. They took the other mods out. Hybrid tanking does no good against rails either.
Nitrous is amazing.
I'm serious, try it. Yes, I run Gunnlogis.
A hardener is still (slightly) superior to an extender , incidentally.
My current pubby fitting is nitro-ext-hard in my highs, plate-rep in my lows and an XT-201 turret.
