The '''fitting skills''' are a group of skills that improve a capsuleer's ability to fit [[module]]s to ships, either by increasing the ship's CPU and ~~power grid~~ ("PG") or by decreasing the CPU and PG use of modules. While these skills do not directly improve a ship's performance, they allow fits that vastly outperform the options available without them.

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

== Basic skills ==

There are two skills that improve the CPU and ~~power grid~~ output of every ship. New capsuleers start with these skills at level III; training them to level IV should be an early priority, and training them to level V is a good medium-term goal.

These skills are all useful in some way, but their usefulness depends more on what types of ships a capsuleer flies than the ~~three~~ skills above. A well-rounded pilot is likely to reach level V in all of them, but a specialist may find that some are not applicable to their situation.

{{sk|Jury Rigging}} must be trained to ~~fit any rigs~~ to a ship at all. First, it allows the use of rig slots, which are important to getting the most out of a ship. It also unlocks rigs that improve Power grid (Ancillary Current Routers) and CPU (Processor Overclocking Units). These rigs are usually preferred to the ~~equivalent lowslot modules when a fit needs a bit more PG or CPU to function~~.

{{sk|Jury Rigging}} must be trained to level III to be able to train the specific rigging skills.

~~Some specific rigs~~ come with a drawback that increases the CPU or PG load of modules. For example, a Nanobot Accelerator rig speeds up the cycle time of ~~armour~~ repairers, but increases the PG requirements of ~~armour~~ repairers. Similarly, the various Burst Aerator rigs increase the rate of fire of 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

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.
