General
EN, EX and KI Heavy Talonite Plates are the base version of XX Heavy Talonite Armor, with resistance against the respective damage type.

Advantages
EN Heavy Talonite Plates is effective against ships using Energy weapons, usually used in conventional blitz attacks that focus fire against base defenses at close range.

EX Heavy Talonite Plates is effective against ships using Explosive weapons, usually used in Paragon Battleship rush attacks designed for maximum splash damage delivered from the middle of the base.

KI Heavy Talonite Plates is effective against ships using Kinetic weapons, usually used in sniper attacks that commit precision strikes from long range.

It is recommended that you set up your resistances according to the most likely attacker. For example, Eclipse Driver Turrets are the greatest threat, and hence, priority target for enemy snipers, therefore you should use KI Heavy Talonite Plates to defend against them.

To prevent unwanted splash and piercing damage to your defenses, do not fortify your non-combat modules such as Storage Modules against Explosive or Kinetic damage, otherwise enemies can damage your defenses further by firing at these structures using Sai Missiles or Lancer Drivers.

Disadvantages
Like the ship version, XX Heavy Talonite Plates is worse than Heavy Talonite Plates if it does not utilize its damage resistance.

It is also inferior to XXAL Heavy Talonite Plates because it cannot resist Alien Damage.
