Capacitor warfare: Difference between revisions

Line 268:

The caveat on only actively nosing when your own cap is lower as a percentage means that the key offensive element of capping out your opponent specifically requires you to be capped out as well. Even if this was not the case the low amounts of energy actually removed from a target while using a nosferatu makes it too slow to practically cap out an opponent using these modules. These severe limitations mean nos require a different methodology than neuts and should be considered as a more defensive form of cap warfare.

Employment as a highslot cap recharger can be very useful for high cap usage fits (often multiple shield booster / armour ~~repper~~ fits will include a nos). They ~~are~~ also ~~commonly~~ employed in combination with neuts which are obviously cap intensive to run. If you are using a meta 0 ~~heavy~~ neut on a ~~target with~~ a ~~larger capacitor than you~~, and ~~500GJ~~ is 25% percent of your capacitor but only 10% of your targets capacitor, a nos will ~~almost always be running~~. It will be helping to directly cap out this target with a much larger capacitor by removing those small amounts of cap while helping to keep your neut running as well. It is even easier to effectively employ in a gang situation with multiple targets. While neuting your main target you nos an alternative target and they spend the fight donating cap which is helping to destroy their fleet mate~~, now if that isn't fun I don't know what is~~! Properly employed this synergy between neuts and nos is extremely important. ~~Nosferatus~~ are extremely useful modules in certain circumstances but they require a ~~better plannning~~ and tactical employment than neuts.

Employment as a highslot cap recharger can be very useful for high cap usage fits (often multiple shield booster / armour repping fits will include a nos). They can also be employed in combination with neuts which are obviously cap intensive to run. If you are using a meta 0 medium neut on a cruiser against a BS, and 150 GJ is 25% percent of your capacitor but only 10% of your targets capacitor, a nos will run while that situation lasts. It will be helping to directly cap out this target with a much larger capacitor by removing those small amounts of cap while helping to keep your neut running as well. Alternatively, an maxed out curse will remove a much greater amount of cap then it will cost it, so that percentage wise it can be equal or even such that a nos will not be able to run. It is even easier to effectively employ in a gang situation with multiple targets. While neuting your main target you nos an alternative target and they spend the fight donating cap which is helping to destroy their fleet mate! Properly employed this synergy between neuts and nos is extremely important.

Nos are extremely useful modules in certain circumstances but they require a little more planning and their tactical employment is a little trickier than that of neuts.
