=Capacitor Warfare and PvE=

NPCs 'cheat' in EVE. One of the ways they do this is with infinite capacitors. It is impossible to 'cap out' a rat as there cap will never decrease below 100%.

~~Under the player to NPC behaviour for EWAR~~, is the ~~caveat~~ that use of neutralizers, neutralizing drones, or nos on NPCs will result in a chance of disrupting both shield or armour repairing by the NPC. ~~I don't know the numbers but the~~ chance of disrupting repairs ~~increases~~ with the size of the modules and ~~decreases~~ with the size of the NPC ship. So using a heavy neut on a frigate NPC should have a very high chance of stopping any repairs. Likewise using a small nos on a BS NPC will have little to no effect on stopping repairs.

The use of Cap Warfare in PvE is not common, and not much has been published on the matter. It has been reported that the use of neutralizers, neutralizing drones, or nos on NPCs will result in a chance of disrupting both shield or armour repairing by the NPC. The chance of disrupting repairs seem to increase with the size of the modules and decrease with the size of the NPC ship. So using a heavy neut on a frigate NPC should have a very high chance of stopping any repairs. Likewise using a small nos on a BS NPC will have little to no effect on stopping repairs.

Additionally because they have infinite cap a nos can be counted on to provide infinite power to the user. As soon as you are below 100% capacitor you can always steadily draw cap from an NPC with a nos. This can be used in mission running quite effectively with certain setups, range likely being the primary limitation. This behaviour also means that if you are ever in the situation of sitting on a low sec gate active tanking gate guns (not in the Uni of course) you can sit beside the billboard and nos it as much as you like to keep your repairers running smoothly.
