[[File:Cap_Chain_Augies.jpg|frame|Three [[Augoror|Augorors]] organized into a capacitor chain. Each arrow corresponds to remote capacitor transfer from one [[Augoror]] to a neighbor. Each [[Augoror]] donates capacitor to and receives capacitor from the same two neighbors. Though this chain contains just three members, cap chains in large fleets can contain many more members than this.]]

The [[Osprey]] and the [[Augoror]] are the two Tech I logistics cruisers that are bonused for remote capacitor transfer. As described above in the [[#Logistics Modules and Mechanics|Modules]] section, these bonuses allow the [[Osprey]] and [[Augoror]] to activate their remote capacitor transfer modules, transfer more capacitor than they spend, and thus effectively create capacitor from nothing. In order for a logistics pilot to benefit from this, the pilot must simultaneously give capacitor to and receive capacitor from one or more logistics partners. In principle, the minimum number of partnered logistics pilots is two, but cap-chain logistics is less vulnerable to enemy interference when larger groups of pilots are matched up. So, [[Osprey]] and [[Augoror]] pilots are typically organized into a capacitor chain (illustrated at right), in which each pilot gives and receives capacitor with two neighboring partners in the chain. More information on how to organize cap chains is given in the Tactics section of this Guide.

Cap chaining solves the capacitor challenges discussed above for solo logistics cruisers. The charts below show bonuses for both the [[Osprey]] and [[Augoror]], and then illustrates the advantage of cap-chained cruisers by comparing an intermediate-skill* fit for the [[Augoror]] with the solo [[Exequror]]:
