·Multi-source verified (45/45)

Ship fitting is an art form in EVE. Every ship has high, mid, and low slots, as well as rig slots, each with specific module restrictions. 'Tank' refers to your ship's ability to absorb damage (shields or armor). 'DPS' (Damage Per Second) is your offensive output. 'Utility' includes modules for electronic warfare, propulsion, or cargo. A balanced fit considers all three. For PvE, you often want to maximize tank and DPS. For PvP, utility and speed can be crucial. Always check your capacitor stability and power grid/CPU usage when fitting.
