'''Mid slots''' are a category of module slot found on ships in EVE. Generally, mid slots contain activatable modules that may assist in tackling, propulsion, or generally improve the ships behavior. [[Shield tanking]] modules occupy mid slots. Some mid slot modules share purposes with low slots, but the details of their use differ.

Mid slots are a category of module slot found on ships in EVE. Generally, mid slots contain activatable modules that may assist in tackling, propulsion, or generally improve the ships behavior. Shield tanking modules occupy mid slots. Some mid slot modules share purposes with low slots, but the details of their use differ.

This page is a collection of all the types of modules that use mid slots.

Capacitor

These modules will restore capacitor energy.

  • Capacitor Batteries
Passive module which increases total capacitor (and subsequently capacitor recharge rate, which is a percent of to total capacitor).
  • Capacitor Boosters
Active module which replenishes capacitor while expanding Cap Boosters.
  • Capacitor Rechargers
Passive module which increases capacitor recharge time.

Boosters are generally preferred for PvP ships since they work well against capacitor neutralizing. For your exact needs, experimenting a fitting tool will show which will serve you best. Compare to engineering rigs and low slot capacitor modules.

Damage application supplements

These modules will increase the ability to damage ships, though not necessarily the amount of damage dealt.

  • Missile Guidance Computers
Active module which increases explosion radius, explosion velocity, missile flight time and missile velocity. Can be scripted to prefer one sort of bonus over another.
  • Tracking Computers
Active module which increases optimal range, falloff range, and tracking speed. Can be scripted to prefer one sort of bonus over another.
  • Tracking Links
Active module which increases the optimal range, falloff range, and tracking speed of an allied ship. Can be scripted to prefer one sort of bonus over another.

Compare to missile and turret rigs and low slot damage application modules

Drone supplements

These modules will increase the performance of drones.

  • Omnidirectional Tracking Links
Active module which increases the optimal range, falloff range, and tracking speed of drones. Can be scripted to prefer one sort of bonus over another. Also improves range, explosion radius and explosion velocity for carrier fighters.
  • Drone Navigation Computers

Compare to low slot drone modules.
