[[Stacking_penalties|Stacking penalties]] are particularly troublesome. In short, some kinds of modules are reduced progressively in effectiveness if they affect the same attribute. For shield attributes, this means: | [[Stacking_penalties|Stacking penalties]] are particularly troublesome.

Finally, Defense Field Purger rigs are almost always more effective than Defense Field Extender rigs in a passive shield fit. The extender increases the capacity of the shield, which does have the effect of also increasing its recharge rate. However, the Purger directly increases the recharge rate by enough more to make a difference. The Purger has a larger impact on Signature Radius. | Finally, Defense Field Purger rigs are almost always more effective than Defense Field Extender rigs in a passive shield fit.

A tank built from these modules will have no stacking penalties, will increase the ship's Signature Radius, and will reduce the Capacitor's recharge time (but will not draw directly on the Capacitor for power). | A tank built from these modules will have no stacking penalties, will increase the ship's Signature Radius, and will reduce the Capacitor's recharge time (but will not draw directly on the Capacitor for power). | ||
