Capacitor warfare: Difference between revisions

From EVE University Wiki
Protection from capacitor warfare: forgot the Strat Cruiser reactor sub
Overview: Missiles don't care either
Line 19: Line 19:
Capacitor warfare drones are substantially weaker than all but the smallest Energy Neutralizers, and operate in the same manner as other drones. They are rarely used due to their limited effectiveness, but are sometimes deployed by ships heavily specialized in capacitor warfare as part of a fleet, when the neutralizing ship has backup to deal damage.

Like most systems in EVE, capacitor warfare has setups against which it is inherently limited. Projectile turrets do not require capacitor to operate, and passive shield tanks continue to function without capacitor expenditure. When capacitor warfare is anticipated, pilots will often place more emphasis on heavy buffer tanks, which increases their survival time enough to possibly either destroy the neutralizer or call for reinforcements. With that said, capacitor is involved in every engagement – PvE or PvP – and thus capacitor warfare can threaten the capabilities of every ship in the game, whether through disabling weapons, support modules, or even warping to escape.
