=Overview=

The Engineering category contains capacitor support skills, and [[Capacitor_Warfare_Guide|capacitor warfare]] skills.

|Enables [[Overheating|overheating]]. Reduces damage from overheating.

|notes=The governing skill for energy neutralizers, energy vampires and energy transfer arrays. Neutralizers and vampires are useful utility modules in PvP, particularly small gang or solo PvP, so PvP pilots will find this skill helpful. Energy transfer can be key to certain kinds of logistics ship fits.<br>

|notes=Key capacitor support skill, useful for everyone. Getting it to V takes a little while because of the x3 multiplier, but is worth it in the long run.<br>

|notes=<br>

|notes=A vital fitting skill which any combat pilot should train to V. Also the prerequisite for many of the other skills in this category.<br>

|notes=A useful skill which makes some modules easier to fit. Level IV is required for T2 co-processors, level V for T2 signal amplifiers.<br>

|notes=Useful fitting requirement reduction for certain modules.<br>

|notes=Note that the increased cycle speed of smartbombs with this skill at high levels means more DPS, but also more cap use.<br>

|notes=Nanite paste can be used to repair module damage from [[Overloading|overheating]] on the fly, while in space. This skill speeds up those repairs. This is a nice skill to have if you're a PvP pilot, but it's not a high priority.<br>

|notes=The skill required to use nanite paste to repair module damage from [[Overloading|overheating]] on the fly. The reduction in nanite consumption will save you money in the long run. Good skill for PvP pilots, especially ones who go on longer roams and so rely on paste more.<br>

|notes=The basic skill of this whole category, and a key fitting skill. Quickly trained. 25% more powergrid is a big boost to your ability to fit more, better equipment on your ship.<br>

|notes=<br>

|notes=[[Overloading|Overheating]] active modules can have a significant effect in combat: the bonuses offered by overheating range from an increase in the damage output of weapons, larger speed boosts from propulsion modifiers, an increase in the range of certain modules, better resists, an increased rate of repair and more. A higher Thermodynamics skill allows you to overheat modules for longer before burning them out. This skill need not be a priority for a pilot who only flies in everyday PvE combat (missions, ratting). It is however useful in advanced PvE (e.g. running [[Abyssal Deadspace|Abyssals]]), important in PvP, and especially important in small-gang and solo PvP. <br>

|notes=Note that this skill also applies to missile launchers (rockets / missiles / cruise missiles / torpedoes) and smartbombs and not just guns. A very useful fitting skill which every combat pilot should train. Level V is no longer required for the {{sk|Advanced Weapon Upgrades}} skill.
