Capital Ship Modules: Difference between revisions

In EVE Online, there are a set of '''Capital Specific Modules''', which have no direct subcapital analogue. Modules are categorized into modules that can be fit on more than one capital ship class, and modules for specific classes of Capital Ships.

The '''Capital Flex Armor''' and '''Shield hardeners''' are capital modules. They can swap between being an omni resist module and resisting a single damage type through the use of scripts. Unscripted, both are inferior to T2 versions of the regular omni resist module (Energized Adaptive Nano Membrane II & Adaptive Invulnerability Field II), consuming much more cap and giving lower resists. Scripted, they do not reach the resist values of A or X-Type active deadspace hardeners of a particular damage type while consuming much more capacitor. Despite these downsides, the flex hardeners are situationally useful when engaging in fights where one particular damage type predominates, and that damage type wasn't known before the fight.

An alternative to the Damage Control only available to capital ships, the '''Capital Emergency Hull Energizer''' (CEHE) offers a short burst of very high hull resistance (95% Omni resists), after which it burns out. A Damage Control and a CEHE cannot be fitted on the same ship, meaning that fitting a CEHE comes at the cost of the permanent EHP boost that a Damage Control would give. As such, the CEHE has its niche in mid size capital fights where the damage on field is high enough for the 15-20s of resists from a CEHE to be worthwhile, but without so much damage that a dread could be quickly cleared off.

Fittable to Titans and Rorquals, the Clone Vat Bay enables a ship to serve as a mobile jump clone station. To be a valid jump point, the clone bay has to be activated, which immobilizes the ship it's equipped to and costs 1 Liquid Ozone for 5 minutes of time. The number of clones that a ship can hold is decided by the hull rather than this module, which is 6 for a Rorqual and 75 for a Titan. The clone count can be improved through the {{Sk|Cloning Facility Operation|icon=yes}} skill.

The siege module offers a variety of strong combat bonuses to dreadnoughts. This comes at the expense of being unable to move, warp, dock, jump, or receive remote assistance. The Siege Module has a base consumption of 250 Strontium Clathrates for a 300 second (5 minute) cycle. Strontium Clathrate usage can be reduced through training the {{Sk|Tactical Weapon Reconfiguration|icon=yes}} skill, which is require to use the Siege Module.

The triage module is a high slot module available only to Force Auxiliaries (FAX). Similar to the siege module, it uses Strontium Clathrates to improve the FAX's remote repair bonuses over a 300 second period, at the expense of movement and remote assistance capabilities.

Fittable to carriers, supercarriers, and the [[Caiman]] and [[Komodo]] Guristas ships, the '''Fighter Support Unit''' (FSU) boosts the velocity, fire rate, shield and shield recharge rate of fighters controlled by the ship. While its effects are stacking penalized, they do not have a bonus to drone damage. This means that FSUs can offer a notable damage bonus on top of bonuses from Drone Damage Amplifiers.

[[File:Icon_energy_neutralization_burst_projector.png|left|link=]] Fittable only to supercarriers, '''Burst Projectors''' are area of effect generators that can apply a tackle or EWAR effect in a 10km AOE anywhere within a 500km range (200km for Energy Neutralization and Stasis Webification), after a 10 second spool up. They consume Heavy Water to operate. Each projector's AOE effect has a shorter duration than that of the module itself. The module duration can be reduced through the {{Sk|Burst Projector Operation|icon=yes}} skill.

Replacing the passive stat bonuses that Titans gave prior to the Ascension Update, '''Phenomena Generators''' are empire-specific modules that give all ships within a 20,000 km range a set of buffs and debuffs. These vary based on race, and are listed below:
