I just managed to tank ANOTHER Absolution and a Caracal (might have been a Cerburus but I'm not so sure now) for about 3, 3 and a half minutes when they jumped me at a low-sec gate without any instas. Managed to get the enemy Absolution into half structure before he warped away. The Caracal got popped by the gate guns, he must have been a n00b.
Just MAKE SURE that if you'll be tanking it, fit a good (read: faction) medium cap booster. That thing saved my ass. Got away on about 1/3 armour and 98% structure
