The Engineering category contains capacitor support skills, capacitor warfare skills and most of the skills required for remote and local shield tanking.

Price: | 150k ISK |
Alpha max level: | II |
Prerequisites: | Shield Operation IV |
Notes: | This and the other three 'X Shield Compensation' (not to be confused with simple Shield Compensation) skills are low priority skills since they mostly benefit passive shield hardeners, which are very rarely used. |

Attributes: | |
Multiplier: | Energy Emission Systems |

Alpha max level: | <span style="cursor: help;" title="Alpha pilot can train and use this skill to at most level Unknown">Unknown |
Prerequisites: | Engineering III |
Notes: | The governing skill for energy neutralizers, energy vampires and energy transfer arrays. Neuts and vamps are useful utility modules in PvP, particularly small gang or solo PvP, so PvP pilots will find this skill helpful. Energy transfer can be key to certain kinds of logistics ship fits. |
Energy Grid Upgrades

Price: | <span style="cursor: help;" title="The skillbook for this skill costs Energy Management ISK">Energy Management ISK |
Alpha max level: | <span style="cursor: help;" title="Alpha pilot can train and use this skill to at most level Unknown">Unknown |
Prerequisites: | Engineering III |
Notes: | Key capacitor support skill, useful for everyone. Getting it to V takes a little while because of the x3 multiplier, but is worth it in the long run. |
Energy Pulse Weapons
Skill at using smartbombs. 5% decrease in smartbomb duration per skill level.
Attributes: | |
Multiplier: | 2x |
Price: | 130k ISK |
Alpha max level: | II |
Prerequisites: | Engineering II, Science II |
Notes: | Note that the increased cycle speed of smartbombs with this skill at high levels means more DPS, but also more cap use. |
Energy Systems Operation
Skill at operating your ship's capacitor, including the use of capacitor boosters and other basic energy modules. 5% reduction in capacitor recharge time per skill level.
Attributes: | |
Multiplier: | Energy Systems Operation |

Alpha max level: | <span style="cursor: help;" title="Alpha pilot can train and use this skill to at most level Unknown">Unknown |
Prerequisites: | Engineering I |
Notes: | Another important capacitor support skill which makes your capacitor more resilient. A short train to level V. |
Engineering
Basic understanding of spaceship energy grid systems. 5% Bonus to ship's powergrid output per skill level.
Attributes: | |
Multiplier: | Engineering |
Price: | <span style="cursor: help;" title="The skillbook for this skill costs Engineering ISK">Engineering ISK |
Alpha max level: | <span style="cursor: help;" title="Alpha pilot can train and use this skill to at most level Unknown">Unknown |
Prerequisites: | None |
Notes: | The basic skill of this whole category, and a key fitting skill. Quickly trained. 25% more powergrid is a big boost to your ability to fit more, better equipment on your ship. |
Explosive Shield Compensation
To active shield hardeners: 3% bonus per skill level to Shield Explosive resistance when the modules are not active.
Attributes: | |
Multiplier: | 2x |
Price: | 150k ISK |
Alpha max level: | II |
Prerequisites: | Shield Operation IV |
Notes: | This and the other three 'X Shield Compensation' (not to be confused with simple Shield Compensation) skills are low priority skills since they mostly benefit passive shield hardeners, which are very rarely used. |
Kinetic Shield Compenstation
To active shield hardeners: 3% bonus per skill level to Shield Kinetic resistance when the modules are not active.
Attributes: | |
Multiplier: | Kinetic Shield Compenstation |
Price: | <span style="cursor: help;" title="The skillbook for this skill costs Kinetic Shield Compenstation ISK">Kinetic Shield Compenstation ISK |
Alpha max level: | <span style="cursor: help;" title="Alpha pilot can train and use this skill to at most level Unknown">Unknown |
Prerequisites: | Shield Operation IV |
Notes: | This and the other three 'X Shield Compensation' (not to be confused with simple Shield Compensation) skills are low priority skills since they mostly benefit passive shield hardeners, which are very rarely used. |
Shield Compensation
Improved skill for regulating energy flow to shields. 2% less capacitor need for shield boosters per skill level.
Attributes: | |
Multiplier: | 2x |
Price: | 150k ISK |
Alpha max level: | IV |
Prerequisites: | Shield Operation III |
Notes: | An important support skill for active shield tanking. |
Shield Emission Systems
Operation of shield transfer array and other shield emission systems. 5% reduced capacitor need for shield emission system modules per skill level.
Attributes: | |
Multiplier: | 2x |
Price: | 100k ISK |
Alpha max level: | III |
Prerequisites: | Engineering III |
Notes: | Shield emission systems repair other ships' shields. This skill is important for anyone planning to fly the Scimitar or Basilisk shield logistics ships. |
Shield Management
Skill at regulating a spaceship's shield systems. 5% bonus to shield capacity per skill level.
Attributes: | |
Multiplier: | 3x |
Price: | 170k ISK |
Alpha max level: | IV |
Prerequisites: | Engineering III |
Notes: | A basic shield support skill (remember that an increase in shield capacity also increases the amount of shield hitpoints you recharge every second) which is an uncomfortably long train to V. But it is worth training to V in the long run. Level V is required for T2 Shield Boost Amplifiers. |
Shield Operation
Skill at operating a spaceship's shield systems, including the use of shield boosters and other basic shield modules. 5% reduction in shield recharge time per skill level.
Attributes: | |
Multiplier: | 1x |
Price: | 55k ISK |
Alpha max level: | IV |
Prerequisites: | Engineering I |
Notes: | Important shield support skill, especially for passive regen shield tanks. Level V is required to use T2 X-large shield boosters. |
Shield Upgrades
Skill at installing shield upgrades e.g. shield extenders and shield rechargers. 5% reduction in shield upgrade powergrid needs.
Attributes: | |
Multiplier: | 2x |
Price: | 100k ISK |
Alpha max level: | IV |
Prerequisites: | Engineering II, Science I |
Notes: | A useful fitting skill, makes squeezing some of the equipment used in shield tanking onto your ship easier. |
Tactical Shield Manipulation
Skill at preventing damage from penetrating the shield, including the use of shield hardeners and other advanced shield modules. Reduces the chance of damage penetrating the shield when it falls below 25% by 5% per skill level, with 0% chance at level 5.
Attributes: | |
Multiplier: | 4x |
Price: | 210k ISK |
Alpha max level: | IV |
Prerequisites: | Engineering III |
Notes: | When your shields fall below 25% hitpoints damage begins to leak through to armor. This skill stops that happening. The exact mechanism of the 'leaking', and the consequent use or uselessness of Tactical Shield Manipulation, are subject to pedantic and rather irrelevant arguments; you need this skill trained to IV to use T2 active shield hardeners, so train it to IV and then forget about it. |
Thermic Shield Compensation
To active shield hardeners: 3% bonus per skill level to Shield Thermal resistance when the modules are not active.
Attributes: | |
Multiplier: | Thermic Shield Compensation |
Price: | <span style="cursor: help;" title="The skillbook for this skill costs Thermic Shield Compensation ISK">Thermic Shield Compensation ISK |
Alpha max level: | <span style="cursor: help;" title="Alpha pilot can train and use this skill to at most level Unknown">Unknown |
Prerequisites: | Shield Operation IV |
Notes: | This and the other three 'X Shield Compensation' (not to be confused with simple Shield Compensation) skills are low priority skills since they mostly benefit passive shield hardeners, which are very rarely used. |
