{{sk|Capacitor Management}} and {{sk|Capacitor Systems Operation}} are important for logistics ships. Training in {{sk|Shield Emission Systems}} reduces the capacitor burden of remote shield boosters, as {{sk|Capacitor Emission Systems}} does for remote capacitor transfer modules. Several skills in the Targeting category are also helpful: {{sk|Signature Analysis}} and {{sk|Target Management}} make it easier to shuttle between repairing different allies, while {{sk|Gravimetric Sensor Compensation}} raises the Osprey's sensor strength, reducing its vulnerability to ECM. | {{sk|Capacitor Management}} and {{sk|Capacitor Systems Operation}} are important for logistics ships.

The Osprey is typically fitted with a mixture of remote shield boosters and remote capacitor transferrers in its high slots; propulsion, shield tank, and ECCM for jam resistance in the mid slots; and mobility and capacitor aids in the low slots. The exact mixture of modules can be tuned to different character skill levels. The drone bay can be used for logistics drones (unbonused, unlike those of the Scythe), or for damage or ECM drones. | The Osprey is typically fitted with a mixture of remote shield boosters and remote capacitor transferrers in its high slots; propulsion, shield tank, and ECCM for jam resistance in the mid slots; and mobility and capacitor aids in the low slots.
