Things you need for cap warfare? A strong capacitor yourself if neuts are planned. However, nos will actually help bolster a weak capacitor and drones will have no effect either way. A setup already dependent on close range lends itself to use of neuts or nos, or a long range ship looking for options against close range aggressors. Spare high slots or drone capacity are of course essential. | Things you need for cap warfare? A strong capacitor yourself if neuts are planned.

Prime examples of 'casual' capacitor warfare usage would be a blaster boat with a Nos in a utility high, or an EWAR boat like an Arbitrator with 'defensive' neuts in case a fast tackler gets too close. Many solo fits for frigates with a utility high include a nos to keep the frigate's tackle, guns and tank running if it attacks a larger ship which has a neut fitted. Solo/small gang fits for several Minmatar ships (commonly the [http://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/Rupture Rupture], [http://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/Hurricane Hurricane], [http://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/Typhoon Typhoon] and [http://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/Tempest Tempest]) often include at least one medium or large neut in their utility highs as part of their defence against smaller targets, especially since the disadvantage of generally small capacitors is rendered irrelevant by using | Prime examples of 'casual' capacitor warfare usage would be a blaster boat with a Nos in a utility high, or an EWAR boat like an Arbitrator with 'defensive' neuts in case a fast tackler gets too close.

Since the strength of capacitor is the number 1 consideration on a non-bonused hull, Amarr ships are generally the best non bonused cap warfare ships. The general race capacitor strengths are Amarr > Gallente ~ Caldari > Minmatar. Minmatar ships and Gallente droneboats are often particularly well supplied with utility highs. Any ship which doesn't use capacitor to run its weapons (Minmatar projectile ships, Gallente drone ships, Caldari missile ships and Amarr ships fitted with [[Turrets#Projectile_Turrets|projectile turrets]]) or to maintain its tank (buffer armour tanks and passive shield tanks without active hardeners) has more capacitor to spare for capacitor warfare. | Since the strength of capacitor is the number 1 consideration on a non-bonused hull, Amarr ships are generally the best non bonused cap warfare ships.
