Most frigates have around 350-450 capacitor, so 2 cycles should almost cap out any frigate you come across.</li><li>By chewing through cap boosters, your cap lasts 3m 42s with all Vs.

==Tactics==

There are two current play styles regarding the Tristan: The Kite Tristan, which uses range to keep damage down; and The Brawler Tristan, which uses a heavy tank to mitigate damage.  Many opinions exist on the most effective way to pilot a drone boat, but generally most veteran players might suggest the kite fit.  Kiting is a strategy where the enemy is kept at range so that incoming damage is minimized, but outgoing damage is still effective.  Kiting can be thought of as sniping with long range guns, however in this case, the guns are replaced with drones. <br />
