| |
| | | |
− | Most kinds of rig have particular drawbacks associated with them. These penalties are reduced by training more levels in the associated rigging skill: the size of the speed reduction caused by armor rigs, for example, is lessened (though never completely eliminated) by your Armor Rigging skill. Some kinds of rig (Electronics rigs, for example) do not have drawbacks.

| |
− | ====Shield Transporters====
| |
− | These modules will repair the shield of an allied ship by using your capacitor energy.
| |
− | ====Discussion====
| |
− | These 4 module classes form the backbone of remote repair (RR) and are invaluable in PVP fleet battles, level 5 mission runs, high level complexes, and wormhole operations as single ships cannot be expected to withstand the assault of an enemy fleet.
| |
− |
| |

| |
− | ===Tackling===
| |
− | These modules will prevent ship warping.
| |

| |
− | ----
| |
− | ===Misc===
| |

− | ====Auto Targeting====
| |
− | These modules will target for you.
| |
− | ====Cynosural Field Generator====

− | These modules will launch scan probes to allow you to explore.
| |
− | ====Tractor Beams====
| |
− | These modules will bring cargo containers and wrecks to your ship.
| |
− | ====Discussion====
| |
− | Auto targeting is a waste of a slot, and dangerous to boot as you want to be able to target manually.
| |
− | Cyno field generators would be best used on an alt in a frigate (that you don't mind losing, because as soon as the cyno field is created, everyone in the system knows where you are).
| |
− | Cloaking is invaluable for scouts.
| |
− | Tractor beams and salvagers can greatly increase the income from a lvl 3 or 4 mission.

| |
− | ===Capacitor===
| |
− | These modules will restore capacitor energy.
| |
− | ====Capacitor Batteries====
| |
− | These modules will increase your total capacitor (and subsequently capacitor regen, as total capacitor and capacitor regen time are independent).
| |
− | ====Capacitor Boosters====
| |
− | These modules will replenish your capacitor while expending a charge that you must carry (like ammo).
| |
− | ====Capacitor Rechargers====
| |
− | These modules will increase your capacitor recharge time with no penalty.
| |

| |
− | These modules will decrease enemy DPS, increase the enemy's incurred DPS, and prevent the opposite from happening.

| |
− | ====ECCM====

| |
− | ====Tracking Disruptors====
| |
− | These modules decrease the tracking speed of enemy turrets.
| |
− | ====Discussion====
| |
− | EW has its own full discussion and class, so I won't be going into detail here.
| |

| |
− | ----
| |
− | ===Propulsion===
| |
− | These modules will increase a ship's velocity.
| |
− | ====Afterburners====
| |
− | These modules will increase your velocity by roughly 120% while using some capacitor.
| |
− | ====Microwarpdrives====
| |
− | These modules will increase your velocity by 500% while increasing your signature radius by 500% and a significant use of capacitor.
| |
− |
| |
− | ----
| |
− | ===Shield Tanking===
| |
− | These modules will restore, extend, or increase the resistance of your shields.
| |
− | ====Shield Boosters====
| |
− | These modules will repair your shields. Boost amplifiers are also in this category and they serve to increase the amount of shield repaired by a shield booster.
| |
− | ====Shield Extenders====
| |
− | These modules will increase your total shield amount while increasing your signature radius (consequently increasing the damage incurred).
| |
− | ====Shield Hardeners====
| |
− | These modules will increase your shield resistances while using a small amount of capacitor.
| |
− | ====Shield Rechargers====
| |
− | These modules will increase your shield regeneration without penalty.
| |
− | ====Shield Resistance Amplifiers====
| |
− | These modules will increase your shield resistances and uses no capacitor.
| |
− | ====Discussion====
| |
− | You generally don't want to fit more than a single booster, as the cap drain will be quite high. Instead use a size-appropriate (or oversized) shield booster matched with a shield boost amplifier.
| |
− | Shield extenders are great for increasing a passive tank (remember that total shield and time to recharge are independent, so as you increase total shields you increase shield regeneration rate) but can work against you if they increase your signature radius too much. Finding a proper balance between shield extenders, shield hardeners, and shield rechargers is essential for a passive shield tank.
| |
− | Shield hardeners are strongly preferred to shield resistance amplifiers as the resistance increase is much greater and the capacitor drain is minor.
| |
− |
| |
− | ----
| |
− | ===Tackling===
| |
− | These modules will slow and prevent warping of enemy ships.
| |
− | ====Stasis Webifiers====
| |
− | These modules will decrease an enemy ship's velocity.
| |
− | ====Warp Jammers====
| |
− | These modules will prevent an enemy ship from warping (provided they do not have warp stabilizers to negate your jamming).

− | ----
| |
− | ===Misc===
| |
− | These modules did not fit into the above categories.
| |
− | ====Hull Repair Systems====

− | These modules will allow you to target a ship without them knowing.
| |
− | ====Scanners====
| |
− | These modules will allow you to scan the composition of asteroids, ice belts, and gas clouds, as well as ship fittings and cargo.
| |
− | ====Discussion====
| |
− | Passive targeting systems matched with ship scanners can be a great way to have an alt find the fittings of war targets.
| |
− | Hull repair systems are a great way to save money if you have hull damage and don't want to pay the repair fees.

− | These modules will increase your armor's resistance a great deal while using capacitor.
| |
− | ====Armor Plates====
| |
− | These modules will increase your armor's total strength while greatly increasing your mass.
| |
− | ====Armor Repair Systems====
| |
− | These modules will repair you armor.
| |
− | ====Energized Plating====
| |
− | These modules will increase your armor's resistance a moderate amount. Regenerative plating increases your armor by a percentage and does not affect your resistance.
| |
− | ====Resistance Plating====
| |
− | These modules will increase your armor's resistance slightly for just a single MW of powergrid. Regenerative plating increases your armor by a percentage and does not affect your resistance.
| |
− | ====Discussion====
| |
− | Hardeners are the ideal if you can support them, followed by energized plating and finally resistance plating.
| |
− | Armor plates are great for a buffer tank.
| |
− |
| |
− | ----

| |
− | These modules will increase the recharge rate of your capacitor.

− | These modules will increase your capacitor recharge at the expense of total capacitor energy.
| |
− | ====Capacitor Power Relays====
| |
− | These modules will increase your capacitor recharge at the expense of the amount of shield your shield booster restores.
| |
− | ====Discussion====
| |
− | If you need capacitor and aren't shield tanking, power relays would serve you well.
| |
− | If you're actively shield tanking, you'll need to strike the right balance for you.
| |
− |
| |
− | ----
| |

− | These modules will increase your optimal range, accuracy falloff, and tracking speed when using any/all types of turrets.
| |
− |
| |
− | ----
| |
− | ===EW===
| |
− | These modules will increase your targeting and reduce your susceptibility to ECM.
| |
− | ====Signal Amplifiers====
| |
− | These modules will increase your total allowed targets, your maximum targeting range, as well as reducing time to lock.
| |
− | ====Sensor Backup Arrays====
| |
− | These modules will increase your sensor strength.
| |
− |
| |
− | ----
| |
− | ===Fitting===
| |
− | These modules will help you extend your power grid or CPU.
| |
− | ====Auxiliary Power Controls====
| |
− | These modules will increase your powergrid as an absolute (ie. not as a percentage) so is useful for frigates and destroyers.
| |
− | ====CPU Upgrades====
| |
− | These modules will increase your CPU without penalty.
| |
− | ====Power Diagnostic Systems====
| |
− | These modules will increase your powergrid, as well as minor boosts to your capacitor and shield capacity and recharge.
| |
− | ====Reactor Controls====
| |
− | These modules will increase your powergrid without penalty.
| |
− | ====Discussion====
| |
− | If you need an increase in your powergrid and don't need as much as a reactor control provides, the bonuses of the power diagnostic system is a great perk.
| |
− | If you're in a frigate, you'll want to use an auxiliary power control, since a percentage bonus will not give you as great a power grid increase as an absolute 10-12MW.
| |
− |
| |
− | ----
| |
− | ===Propulsion===
| |
− | These modules will increase your velocity and/or agility.
| |
− | ====Inertial Stabilizers====
| |
− | These modules will increase your agility at the expense of signature radius.
| |
− | ====Nanofiber Structures====
| |
− | These modules will increase your velocity and agility at the expense of structure.
| |
− | ====Overdrive Injectors====
| |
− | These modules will increase your velocity at the expense of cargo space.
| |
− | ====Comparison====
| |
− | Injectors increase only velocity and reduce your ability to carry ammo, inertial stabilizers will increase your signature radius (and consequently your incurred damage) for a bit of agility.
| |
− | Nanofiber structures on the other hand, will provide both velocity and agility (very comparable to each individually) at the expense of structure. And honestly if you've reached a point where your structure is being hit, it doesn't matter how much you have.
| |
− |
| |
− | ----
| |
− | ===Shield Tanking===
| |
− | These modules will increase the regeneration of shields.
| |
− | ====Shield Flux Coils====
| |
− | These modules will increase shield recharge at the expense of shield capacity.
| |
− | ====Shield Power Relays====
| |
− | These modules will increase shield recharge at the expense of capacitor recharge.
| |
− | ====Comparison====
| |
− | Power relays are great for passive shield tanking on minmatar, as projectile weapons require no capacitor.
| |
− | Flux coils will deliver less recharge than they state, because of their reduction of total shields (remember that recharge time is independent of shield capacity, so as shield capacity is reduced, so is shield recharge).
| |
− | So with that said, shield power relays are the way to go for a passive shield tank, but neither should be used for an active shield tank.
| |

| |
− | ----
| |
− | ===Misc===
| |
− | These modules did not fit into the above categories.
| |
− | ====Cargo Expanders====
| |
− | These modules will increase your cargo capacity at the expense of velocity. Ideal for haulers and salvage/loot ships.
| |
− | ====Damage Controls====
| |
− | These modules will give you a great deal of resist for your hull, and minor resistance increases for your armor and shields at the expense of very minor cap use. Great module to extend your tank. Use of more than 1 is not advised.
| |
− | ====Mining Upgrades====
| |
− | These modules will increase mining laser yield at the expense of CPU.
| |
− | ====Reinforced Bulkheads====
| |
− | These modules will increase your hull at the expense of velocity. You don't want to use these, as structure tanking is ill-advised and you can surely find a better use for the slot.
| |
− | ====Warp Core Stabilizers====
| |
− | These modules counter warp jammers at the expense of targeting range. They are essential if you think you might get warp jammed and do not want to fight.
