In terms of keeping your cap alive while defending against a ship that is Nos/Neuting you, what are your experiences with the performance of the new Cap battery (with its ability to occasionally reflect nos/neut cycles back at the attacker) versus the current standard counter to the nos/Neut, the Cap injector? I don't make minerals. I just make ore 20% cooler. |

I think it would be better if instead of reflecting, it absorbed it, giving you a cap boost rather than a cap drain. Or rather, it absorbs up to its max capacity, (so a small cap battery hit by a large neut won't provide a large boost)
Adjust the percentages, such that with about 3 cap batteries of the same size as the incoming cap drains actually result in you having more cap if someone tries to neut you |

I don't like these changes to Neuting/Cap batteries.
-Fitting a tracking computer does not have a chance of reflecting tracking disruption back to the other player. -Fitting a Sensor booster doesn't allow you to reflect some dampening back.
For instance. |

A friend and I did some testing on SiSi. The battery makes you last longer than the nos does, but it doesn't harm the neuting ship as much. A combination of both is kickass. Also, the cap battery makes "alpha neuting" incredibly risky, since overkilling the cap of a ship that has a cap battery means that you also nuke your own cap in the process.

We were talking about these last night. I cannot for the life of me figure out when you would fit one of these over a booster in pvp.
For care bear missioners who get ganked?
Perhaps for a logi pilot?
Bait ship?
Someone please enlighten me. |

Someone please enlighten me. If you need your cargohold for other stuff (a frigate carrying bubbles?), if you want to scare/troll neuting ships, or... yeah that's pretty much it.

The only ship I ever fit a cap battery on before was the Sacrilege. I don't see that changing much in the future. |

From what I've seen I think a cap booster is still going to be prefered, but time will tell when we finally see these in action more and how useful they are in actual use. Welcome to Eve. Everyone here is an Evil Sick Sadistic Bastard who is out to get you. Anyone who tells you otherwise is either trying to scam you or use you. |
