Cataclysmic Variable systems are an interesting paradox. On the one hand, they enormously increase the strength of remote repair modules, and the capacitor volume of the ships using them. On the other hand, they also greatly reduce the strength of local repair modules, and remote cap transmitters. The result is a system type which encourages group play with either spidertanked ships or heavy logistics support, but forces the use of locally cap-stable logistics ships and discourages capital warfare. | Cataclysmic Variable systems are an interesting paradox. On the one hand, they enormously increase the strength of remote repair modules, and the capacitor volume of the ships using them. (And while they also slow capacitor recharge times, the larger increase in volume results in increased stability.)
