This guide is intended to introduce beginners to the visual cues EVE Online has for the various modules, so that you can recognise what's being done to your ship in combat (and hopefully, how to counter it). Each visual effect has an animated GIF illustrating what it looks like. <br> | |||
However in case the animations do not load properly each effect also has a link to a static picture as well. (static images coming soon) | |||

An energy destabilizer - also known as a neutralizer or neut - removes some energy of the target ship's capacitor. Thus this is a hostile module you would activate on enemy ships to shut down their active modules. | An energy destabilizer - also known as a neutralizer or "neut" - removes some energy of the target ship's capacitor.
