Overview

The Engineering category contains capacitor support skills, capacitor warfare skills.

The following are the skills in the Engineering section (in alphabetical order):


Icon skillbook2.png Advanced Weapon Upgrades

Reduces the powergrid needs of weapon turrets and launchers by 2% per skill level.

Multiplier.png Multiplier: 6x
Isk.png Price: 1M ISK
Alpha.png Alpha max level: III
Icon skillbook2.png Prerequisites: Weapon Upgrades V; Gunnery II
Icon skillbook2.png V required for: Doomsday Operation; Marauders; Tactical Weapon Reconfiguration
Notes.png Notes: Note that this skill also applies to missile launchers (rockets / missiles / cruise missiles / torpedoes) and not just guns. Weapon Upgrades V is a long prerequisite, but the cumulative effect of WU V and AWU to IV really makes a difference to fitting, especially when you start encountering the greater fitting demands of T2 equipment.



Icon skillbook2.png Capacitor Emission Systems

Operation of energy transfer array and other capacitor emission systems. 5% reduced capacitor need of energy emission weapons per skill level.
