===T1 Usage===

There are no T1 hulls in the game with a direct bonus to capacitor warfare, but some ships are better suited for it than others. This is because of their large, resilient capacitors and/or their 'utility' high slots (high slots left open after all the main armament has been fitted).

The four races ordered from ships with the smallest capacitors relative to their size to ships with the largest capacitors run from Minmatar, through Gallente and Caldari to Amarr. Minmatar ships and Gallente droneboats are often particularly well supplied with utility highs.
