The [[Osprey]] and the [[Augoror]] are the two Tech I logistics cruisers that are bonused for remote capacitor transfer. As described above in the [[#Logistics Modules and Mechanics|Modules]] section, these bonuses allow the [[Osprey]] and [[Augoror]] to activate their remote capacitor transfer modules, transfer more capacitor than they spend, and thus effectively create capacitor from nothing. In order for a logistics pilot to benefit from this, the pilot must simultaneously give capacitor to and receive capacitor from one or more logistics partners. In principle, the minimum number of partnered logistics pilots is two, but cap-chain logistics is less vulnerable to enemy interference when larger groups of pilots are matched up. So, [[Osprey]] and [[Augoror]] pilots are typically organized into a capacitor chain (illustrated at right), in which each pilot gives and receives capacitor with two neighboring partners in the chain. More information on how to organize cap chains is given in the [[Guide_to_Logistics#Cap-Chain Logistics|Tactics]] section of this Guide.

Cap chaining solves the capacitor challenges discussed above for solo logistics cruisers. The charts below show bonuses for both the [[Osprey]] and [[Augoror]], and then illustrates the advantage of cap-chained cruisers by comparing an intermediate-skill* fit for the [[Augoror]] with the solo [[Exequror]]:

The [[Augoror]] fit used to generate the chart above has mostly active modules that consume capacitor, including active armor resist modules. So the [[Augoror]] consumes a lot of capacitor. Nevertheless, when cap-chained, the Augoror has more than enough capacitor to run all these active modules simultaneously. The [[Augoror]] can even periodically break the chain in order to transfer capacitor to damage-dealing fleetmates that need the help. Pilots of all skill levels receive this benefit, because the role bonuses to remote capacitor transfer do not depend on skill level. The [[Osprey]] has the same advantages as the [[Augoror]]; it can fit more active resist modules and still retain a considerable capacitor advantage over the [[Scythe]].

The {{co|wheat|Augoror}} fit used to generate the chart above has mostly active modules that consume capacitor, including active armor resist modules. So the {{co|wheat|Augoror}} consumes a lot of capacitor. Nevertheless, when cap-chained, the {{co|wheat|Augoror}} has more than enough capacitor to run all these active modules simultaneously.

The {{co|wheat|Osprey}} has the same advantages as the {{co|wheat|Augoror}}; it can fit more active resist modules and still retain a considerable capacitor advantage over the {{sh|Scythe}}.

But in order for cap-chain logistics cruisers to be cap-stable, they '''must''' be partnered, and this represents a vulnerability for these ships. Enemy fleets can break the cap chain, either by isolating chain members using [[EWAR Guide|electronic warfare]], or by splitting them up using command destroyers and micro jump field generators. Cap-chain logistics ships are often specially fit to counter some of these strategies. For example, the [[Augoror]] above has sensor boosters to counter EWAR, but one of these can be replaced with a warp scrambler to counter micro jump fields. In any case, cap-chain logistics pilots are dependent on their fleetmates, and keeping cap chains intact under enemy fire can make them challenging to fly.

Unistas interested in flying cap-chain logistics ships are advised to attend [[Logistics 102]] before flying an [[Osprey]] or [[Augoror]] in an E-UNI fleet. This class covers how to fly these cruisers in fleets, and how to respond to changes in circumstances.
