Dust Puppy's original forumula is expressed in ASCII as: | |||
C = Cmax * [ 1 + ( SQRT(C0/Cmax) - 1 ) * EXP((t0-t1)/tau) ] ^ 2 | C = Cmax * [ 1 + ( SQRT(C0/Cmax) - 1 ) * EXP((t0-t1)/tau) ] ^ 2 | ||

Experimenting with this formula (https://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=0AnYZ5Ix967m9dGR1YTY2emRGaXgyR3k4QlBnYng3SlE&hl=en), Seamus found that the peak recharge rate, without any effect of boosters or energy draining weapons, is indeed at 25% of capacitor capacity. | Experimenting with this formula (https://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=0AnYZ5Ix967m9dGR1YTY2emRGaXgyR3k4QlBnYng3SlE&hl=en), Seamus found that the peak recharge rate, without any effect of boosters or energy draining weapons, is indeed at 25% of capacitor capacity. | ||

Bottom line for EVE capsuleers: remember that the recharge rate declines dramatically once it falls below 25% of capacity. Therefore, if in a fight, leave yourself a margin of safety and consider escaping if it appears that you will soon fall below this amount. | Bottom line for EVE capsuleers: remember that the recharge rate declines dramatically once it falls below 25% of capacity.
