While these skills do not directly improve a ship's performance, they allow fits that vastly outperform the options available without them. | ||

{{sk|Energy Grid Upgrades}} unlocks modules that affect a ship's Power Grid output and capacitor. It also reduces the CPU use of these modules by 5% per level. The capacitor modules are common on [[logistics]] ships, and some logistics fits require Energy Grid Upgrades V to fit everything. The PG modules are sometimes used to make an otherwise impossible fit work (although an Ancillary Current Router rig is usually the preferred option), and they can be a useful temporary solution for capsuleers who haven't yet trained the skills needed to make tight fits work. Energy Grid Upgrades V is a prerequisite for the [[Marauder]] and [[Heavy Assault Cruiser]] ship skills. | {{sk|Energy Grid Upgrades}} unlocks modules that affect a ship's Power Grid output and capacitor.

Rigs come with a drawback that increases the CPU or Power Grid (PG) load of modules. For example, a Nanobot Accelerator rig speeds up the cycle time of armor repairers but increases the PG requirements of armor repairers. Similarly, the various Burst Aerator rigs increase the rate of fire of hybrid turrets but also increase those turrets' PG demand. For such rigs, training the relevant rigging skill reduces the size of the drawback, making fitting easier. | |||
