|notes= Overheating active modules can have a significant effect in combat: the bonuses offered by overheating range from an increase in the damage output of weapons, larger speed boosts from propulsion modifiers, an increase in the range of certain modules, better resists, an increased rate of repair and more. A higher Thermodynamics skill allows you to overheat modules for longer before burning them out. This skill need not be a priority for a pilot who only flies in everyday PvE combat (missions, ratting). It is however useful in advanced PvE (e.g. running [[Abyssal Deadspace|Abyssals]]), important in PvP, and especially important in small-gang and solo PvP.

Improved control of general-purpose repair nanites, usually deployed in a paste form. 20% increase in damaged module repair amount per second.
 Attributes:
 Multiplier: 3x
 Price: 5M ISK
 Alpha max level: Alpha pilot can not train this skill.
 Prerequisites: Nanite Operation III
 Notes: Nanite paste can be used to repair module damage from overheating on the fly, while in space. This skill speeds up those repairs. This is a nice skill to have if you're a PvP pilot, but it's not a high priority.

 Price: 1M ISK
 Alpha max level: Alpha pilot can not train this skill.

 Attributes:
 Multiplier: 1x
 Price: 30k ISK
 Alpha max level: V

 Notes: The basic skill of this whole category, and a key fitting skill. Quickly trained. 25% more powergrid is a big boost to your ability to fit more, better equipment on your ship.



Resistance Phasing

Improves control over, and flow between, nano membranes that react to damage by shifting resistances. Reduces cycle time of Reactive Armor Hardeners, Flex Armor Hardeners and Flex Shield Hardeners by 10% per level and capacitor need by 15% per level.
 Attributes:
 Multiplier: 3x
 Price: 500k ISK
 Alpha max level: Alpha pilot can not train this skill.
 Prerequisites: Hull Upgrades IV
 I required for: Tech 1 and Faction Capital Flex Armor/Shield Hardeners
 IV required for: Capital Flex Armor/Shield Hardener II



Thermodynamics

Advanced understanding of the laws of thermodynamics. Allows you to deliberately overheat a ship's modules in order to push them beyond their intended limit. Also gives you the ability to frown in annoyance whenever you hear someone mention a perpetual motion unit. Reduces heat damage by 5% per level.
 Attributes:
 Multiplier: 3x
 Price: 4.5M ISK
 Alpha max level: IV
 Prerequisites: Power Grid Management IV, Capacitor Management III, Science IV
 Notes: Overheating active modules can have a significant effect in combat: the bonuses offered by overheating range from an increase in the damage output of weapons, larger speed boosts from propulsion modifiers, an increase in the range of certain modules, better resists, an increased rate of repair and more. A higher Thermodynamics skill allows you to overheat modules for longer before burning them out. This skill need not be a priority for a pilot who only flies in everyday PvE combat (missions, ratting). It is however useful in advanced PvE (e.g. running Abyssals), important in PvP, and especially important in small-gang and solo PvP.



Weapon Upgrades

Knowledge of gunnery computer systems, including the use of weapon upgrade modules. 5% reduction per skill level in the CPU needs of weapon turrets, launchers and smartbombs.

 IV required for: Gyrostabilizer II; Tracking Enhancer II; Heat Sink II; Drone Damage Amplifier II; Magnetic Field Stabilizer II; Ballistic Control System II; Missile Guidance Enhancer II;  Advanced Weapon Upgrades
 V required for:  Heavy Assault Cruisers
 Notes: Note that this skill also applies to missile launchers (rockets / missiles / cruise missiles / torpedoes) and smartbombs and not just guns. A very useful fitting skill which every combat pilot should train.
