Capacitor warfare: Difference between revisions

Line 415:

The Egress Port Maximizer rigs decrease the capacitor use of all energy weapon modules. The Tech I rig reduces activation cost by 15%, and the Tech II by 20%. More than one rig can be used, but because of stacking penalties, the effects get lower as more rigs are added.

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

Energy Neutralizers have no effect on NPCs, and they never run out of capacitor, so ships fit for PvE should never be fit with Energy Neutralizers. It is possible to drain capacitor from NPCs using an Energy Nosferatu, but there are reports that there is a limit to the total amount of capacitor that can be drained from a single NPC. Energy Nosferatu will always successfully drain capacitor when used against an NPC, no matter what its size.

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.
