The lack of bonuses means that it is generally ill advised to fit a T1 ship solely around cap warfare.  This does make me a little sad, however, it does not mean that cap warfare can not be used in T1 ships to devastating effect.  Rather T1 hulls should be selected that alow the usage of Cap Warfare without sacrifising their bonused role.

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.
So as per the indications of suitability discussed above, we can start narrowing down the field of potential T1 hulls.


With the strength of capacitor being a prime 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.
Minmatar ships and Gallente / Amarr droneboats are often particularly well supplied with utility highs.  The general race capacitor strengths are Amarr > Gallente ~ Caldari > Minmatar.  Any ship which doesn't use capacitor to run its weapons (Minmatar projectile ships, Gallente drone ships, Caldari missile ships and Amarr droneboats and 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.  This being said Amarr and Gallente are probably the two best suited for T1 cap warfare use.  Not to say the other races can't or wouldn't field cap warfare effectively, but the strengths of Amarr and Gallente lend themselves to it.


Here are some of the ships which do very well in a T1 cap warfare roll:
