Capacitor warfare: Difference between revisions

<br>

Any empty utility high slot or spare drone capacity is a reason to consider using capacitor warfare on any ship.  However, certain ships excel at using this form of EWAR.

There are no T1 hulls in the game with a direct bonus to capacitor warfare, but some ships are better suited for it than others.

The Punisher has an inordinately large capacitor for a T1 frigate.  In fact, at 425 GJ without skills, it is larger than its runners up by 75 GJ (the Caldari Merlin and Gallente Tristan at 350 GJ - the Minmatar Rifter only has a 250 GJ capacitor), it is also has a larger one than all T2 frigates other than the Retribution (Amarr Assault Ship), and most of the faction frigates.  It also has a utility high slot unuseable for DPS due to the number of turret and lack of missile slots.  Finally it is particularly well suited to a negligable (DCU) capacitor armour tank due to its inherrent armour resist bonuses, four low slots, and very nice amount of shield and armour HP.  Taken together the Punisher is the undisputed King of T1 frigate cap warfare platforms.

This faction frigate shares many of the Punishers advantages for Capacitor Warfare.  It has a very large capacitor for its class size: 500 GJ without skills.  It has a utility high slot due to the number of turret and lack of missle slots.  It has a very good tank with 5 low slots, lending itself to a negligable (DCU) armour buffer tank if desired.

* Gallente drone boats rely on drones for much of their DPS and sometimes fit their high slots for capacitor warfare -- neuts are particularly common on the [http://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/Dominix Dominix].

* The Amarr [http://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/Arbitrator Arbitrator] is also a drone boat, and so sometimes fits neuts and/or noses for the same reason.
