sorry for long title.
okay, I've a question that has been bugging me.
when using X-Large shield boosters, which rig is the better choice?
On one hand, we have the Capacitor Control Circuit, which increases passive cap regeneration, and on the other, we have the Core Defense Capacitor Safeguard for decreasing your active shield tanking costs.
With X-Large boosters 3 Safeguard rigs could effectively decrease boosting cost by ~25%, which saves you a lot of cap.
With 3 Cap Control Circuits increases cap regeneration by up to ~30%, which is great when you have other cap usages, such as turrets or AB.
I understand that one is not going to simply perma-boost a X-Large shield booster, but both rigs seems right in their own respect; they just work differently, with CCC working better when not boosting, and CDCS works better when you're boosting.
So I'm bringing my dilemma here to the forums to discuss with you experts.

Note: these are tech I rigs.
Note II: math is not exact. Just a guesstimate

Assuming I am not using any other cap regen modules, would you still prefer CCC over Safeguard in the case of X-Large Shield Booster? |

There are some few setups that benefit from CDCS. I don't remember which those were though. Possibly the large shield boosting exploration Tengu or Sleipnir.
Right, I have thought about the disadvantage of having that larger sig radius. So it would seem that a larger sig radius means more damage taken, which in turn requires you to boost more often, therefore counteracting the benefits of lower boosting cost. |
