All nosferatus have a similar set of attributes. The different sizes of nosteratus differ significantly, but for each size tier they are fairly consistent across meta levels. Aside from fitting consideration, the only attributes that change from meta 0 all the way to commander modules is the range and the amount of energy transferred to you. The cycle time is consistent (3 seconds for small nos, 6 seconds for medium, and 12 seconds for heavy). Small nos will transfer from 8 - 10 GJ across the meta levels, medium from 30 - 36 GJ, and heavy from 100 - ~~135~~ GJ. The ranges for all the modules from meta 0 to the highest are between: small from 5,~~500m~~ - 10,~~214m~~; medium from 10,~~500m~~ - 19,500m; and heavy from 21,000m - 43,000m.

The optimal ranges for all the modules from meta 0 to the highest are between: small from 4,000m - 8,000m; medium from 8,000m - 16,500m; and heavy from 16,000m - 32,000m.

If you are within range of a target, and your opponent's cap amount (not percentage) is higher than your cap amount, then an activated ~~nos~~ acts like a neut. The difference is that the 'activation cost' is a negative amount subtracted from your capacitor (so the cap is added on) equivalent to the amount removed from the opponent. A nos will stay activated as long as you are in range and pull cap when the cap level condition is met, so keep it running every time a target is in range as there is no downside.

Effectiveness Falloff works by reducing the effectiveness of the module when in falloff range. The formula is the same as gun and neut falloff:

*at 100% Optimal + 0% Falloff = 100% Effectiveness

*at 100% Optimal + 100% Falloff = 50% Effectiveness (approximately)

*at 100% Optimal + 200% Falloff = 6% Effectiveness (approximately)

If you are within range of a target, and your opponent's cap amount (not percentage) is higher than your cap amount, then an activated Nos acts much like a neut. The difference is that the 'activation cost' is a negative amount subtracted from your capacitor (so the cap is added on) equivalent to the amount removed from the opponent. A nos will stay activated as long as you are in range and pull cap when the cap level condition is met, so keep it running every time a target is in range as there is no downside.

The caveat on only actively nosing when your own cap is lower than your opponent's mean that a ~~NOS~~ is highly likely to be effective when fighting bigger ships than yours, but not likely to work when fighting smaller ships.

A Nos is easier to effectively employ in a gang situation with multiple targets. While neuting your main target you ~~nos~~ an alternative target (ideally a bigger ship than ~~you~~) and they spend the fight donating cap which is helping to destroy their fleet mate! Properly employed this synergy between neuts and ~~nos~~ is extremely important.

Nos are extremely useful modules in certain circumstances but they require a little more planning and their tactical employment is a little trickier than that of neuts.
