:Anything you want which does not consume capacitor during a fight. Weapons should be fit after all other modules and they should consume no capacitor. For most Caldari pilots this makes [[Missile Launchers|missile Launchers]] ideal: Heavy Missile Launchers have a nice long range to match your ECM ranges, Assault Missile Launchers have a medium range and can really hurt enemy frigates; Heavy Assault Missile Launchers are a pain to fit and have very short ranges. Energy neutralizers can be a great addition but remember they use a lot of cap (when in doubt, don't fit them). Some other options might be a Salvager or Tractor beam to clean up after the fight. | :Anything you want which does not consume capacitor during a fight.

: Sensor booster - This will allow you to lock targets faster and at longer ranges. You can use a Scan Resolution script to get even faster locking and no targeting range benefit, or a Targeting Range script to get even longer targeting range and no locking time benefit. | : Sensor booster - This will allow you to lock targets faster and at longer ranges.

: Microwarpdrive - a MWD greatly increases effectiveness in PVP, allows you to get to your optimal/safe range quickly and also get in range of targets quickly. The MWD reduces your total cap when you fit it, and uses a lot of cap when running -- pulse it, don't leave it on. | : Microwarpdrive - a MWD greatly increases effectiveness in PVP, allows you to get to your optimal/safe range quickly and also get in range of targets quickly.
