If you activate the module on a target, the activation cost will immediately be deducted from your capacitor and the destabilized amount will be immediately deducted from the target's capacitor. This will be repeated each cycle time for as long as you have the neut activated. Pretty simple, right?

If you activate the module on a target, the activation cost will immediately be deducted from your capacitor and the destabilized amount (modified, if in falloff range) will be immediately deducted from the target's capacitor. This will be repeated each cycle time for as long as you have the neut activated. Pretty simple, right?

The important thing to remember is that your goal is to cap out your opponent and that you need to use enough neutralization to overcome the peak recharge rate of their capacitor. Yes, if you neut less then that amount you will make it harder for them to run [[Capacitor_Management_101#What_is_.22cap_stable.22.3F_Do_I_want_it.3F|cap stable]], but likely you would be a more efficient killing machine using that high slot for something else if that is all you are accomplishing. What this boils down to is that you don't use a small neut on an Apoc and expect to accomplish anything. The basic rule of thumb is that a good capacitor warfare setup has a neutralization rate MUCH higher than any conceivable recharge rate. You want to cap out your opponent quickly and then have an easy way to keep the other pilot running on empty.
