The [[Osprey]] and the [[Augoror]] are the two Tech I logistics cruisers that <span style="color:yellow;">are</span> bonused for remote capacitor transfer. As described above in the [[#Logistics Modules and Mechanics|Modules]] section, these bonuses allow the [[Osprey]] and [[Augoror]] to activate their remote capacitor transfer modules, transfer more capacitor than they spend, and thus effectively create capacitor from nothing. In order a logistics pilot to benefit from this, the pilot must simultaneously give capacitor to and receive capacitor from one or more logistics partners. In principle, the minimum number of partnered logistics pilots is two, but cap-chain logistics is less vulnerable to enemy interference when larger groups of pilots are matched up. So, [[Osprey]] and [[Augoror]] pilots are typically organized into a <span style="color:yellow;">capacitor chain</span> (illustrated at right), in which each pilot gives and receives capacitor with two neighboring partners in the chain. More information on how to organize cap chains is given in the Tactics section of this Guide.
