Burst: Difference between revisions

One defining challenge of flying Tech I logistics frigates in general, and the Burst in particular, is sustaining enough capacitor to run the ship. Remote repair modules are extremely cap-intensive, so the Burst is typically fit to boost available capacitor—with capacitor power relays in low slots, capacitor control circuit rigs, and, if necessary, “Enduring” remote shield boosters (which consume less cap). Training character skills that increase capacitor will also help. It might seem that fitting the Burst with an afterburner instead of a microwarpdrive (MWD) could spare some capacitor. But the Burst needs to keep up with its small-ship fleetmates in order to repair them, so it usually needs an MWD. Pilots fitting the Burst should use the in-game fitting simulation window, or an out-of-game tool like [[Pyfa]], to match any fit to their specific skills and to gauge the ship’s cap stability. (This also means you may need to swap out modules on any pre-fit Burst hulls that you purchase on corp contracts, to make them work with your skills.)

Compared to the Caldari [[Bantam]]—the other Tech I shield logistics frigate—the Burst is much faster, but has less tank and less native capacitor. This makes the Burst and ~~Burst~~ rough equals, but Omega characters may be asked to cross-train into the Caldari frigate for specific doctrines.

Compared to the Caldari [[Bantam]]—the other Tech I shield logistics frigate—the Burst is much faster, but has less tank and less native capacitor. This makes the Burst and Bantam rough equals, but Omega characters may be asked to cross-train into the Caldari frigate for specific doctrines.
