I'm looking at neut boats and thinking about fitting it with nos to go with my neuts.
I know nos has no effect unless you have a lower cap than your target.
The thing I'm a bit confused about is weather or not the nos will even activate or shut it self off if you have a higher cap than your target.
Also, does it go by a percentile or amount? For instance if I nos a cap ship than has a huge amount of cap.

No, a nos will not turn off if your cap amount is higher than that of the target. And the amount the nos siphons off from the target ship is based on amount, not percent (so activating a nos on a frigate while you're in a battleship would not gain you anything). _______________________

it would if your bs had 0 cap and the frig had. . . more than 0

Originally by: Dev blog Nosferatu Changes In their current implementation Nosferatus not only neutralize cap of the targeted ship, but also leeches energy for your own ship. For instance a Heavy Nosferatu I gives you 8en/s and the peak recharge rate of a Megathron is about 20en/s with good skills, so a single Heavy Nosferatu I gives you about 40% increase in cap recharge rate. Even if the Nosferatu didn't leech energy it would still be a useful module since it can neutralize a capacitor at no (energy) cost to yourself. The problem, then, is that Nosferatus allows one to both leech energy off a target and at the same time neutralize its capacitor. This makes the Nosferatus too powerful since there is no compromise involved.
To address this issue we have changed the effect on Nosferatus (but not on Energy Neutralizers) in order to make the Nosferatu less powerful as an Energy Neutralizer without affecting its ability to leech energy. Under the new system, the amount transferred by a Nosferatu is based on the relative capacitor charge levels (measured in percent). Energy is only transferred while the charge percentage of the targeted ship is higher than the charge percentage of the ship that activated the Nosferatu. This means that the target is no worse off (energy wise) than the attacking ship.
For instance, if a battleship with 30% capacitor left activates a Nosferatu on a frigate, then the frigate is not drained below 30%. In other words, the Nosferatu would not drain the capacitor of the frigate completely, though an Energy Neutralizer would do the job nicely (but at an energy cost to the battleship). It is, however, still possible to use Nosferatus to drain a target if one is willing to sacrifice ones own energy to do so.
