The Navitas is the Gallente [[Frigates#Logistics Frigates|Logistics Frigate]]; Navitas pilots repair their fleetmates’ ships during battle. The Navitas is bonused for remote armor repair, which matches the Gallente racial focus on armor tanking. The ship’s bonuses to remote armor repairer amount, activation, and range make the underwhelming base stats of small remote armor repairers practically useful. Flying the Navitas is a great first step in learning about [[Logistics]]. Navitas pilots often go on train into heavier Tech I logistics cruisers (such as the Gallente [[Exequror]]), and then Tech II logistics ships (including the [[Thalia]] and [[Oneiros]]). But the Navitas is also effective all on its own, especially as a component of frigate or destroyer gangs, where speed is key. | The Navitas is the Gallente [[Frigates#Logistics Frigates|Logistics Frigate]]; Navitas pilots repair their fleetmates’ ships during battle.

One defining challenge of flying Tech I logistics frigates in general, and the Navitas in particular, is sustaining enough capacitor to run the ship. Remote repair modules are extremely cap-intensive, so the Navitas is typically fit to boost available capacitor—with cap rechargers in mid slots, capacitor control circuit or remote repair augmentor rigs, and, if necessary, “Enduring” remote armor repairers (which consume less cap). Training character skills that boost capacitor will also help. It might seem that fitting the Navitas with an afterburner instead of a microwarpdrive (MWD) could spare some capacitor. But the Navitas needs to keep up with its small-ship fleetmates in order to repair them, so it usually needs an MWD. Pilots fitting the Navitas 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 Navitas hulls that you purchase on corp contracts, to make them work with your skills.) | One defining challenge of flying Tech I logistics frigates in general, and the Navitas in particular, is sustaining enough capacitor to run the ship.
