Ok so i'm using Pyfa, EFT etc etc ti setup ship fits, i do this mostly for Capacitor simulation buti have found that i get alot of conflicting results.
For exampl a fiti have for a loki in EveHQ's EFT is 62% stable, Pyfa says 71% stable and the ingame fitting screen says 43% stable.
My quiestion is, is there a fitting tool that gives accurate results regarding capacitor usage/stability?.
Thanks in advance. |

Thanks for the free bump.
The whole point of pyfa/eft is to make sure it's cap stable before i waste 750+ mil on a module that i can't afford to waste. |

iirc eft calculates in terms of cap per second whereas pyfa accounts for cycle times and the recharge rate curve and all that stuff. So the pyfa figure is probably the accurate one |

Right there says don't do it.
Or rather, do. And often. Fund it with PLEX.

If you have certain modules off in Pyfa/EFT, it will report different numbers as EVE always assumes all of your modules are running. You also might have gang links or implants in EFT/Pyfa that are giving you different values - might want to check that. http://www.dust514.org - the unofficial forum for everything DUST 514 http://www.dust514base.com - the blog site with everything else DUST 514 you need

I don't mind paying that billion to be cap stable, i'd rather not pay for it and find out i am NOT cap stable once i fit it. there in lies the problem, these fitting tools are extremely innaccurate when it comes to cap.
Would be nice if EVE gave us the ability to do fits in game without these tools that most of the time get damage, cap, armour, shield regen etc wrong. The more experienced will have a better time the fitting tools but for people such as myself with a limited budget, blowing a billion to find out it's no good in terms of cap or the damage calculations were wrong. |

Can you at least give us a fit to see if there might be any modules that raise red flags regarding how these programs treat cap use? The Drake is a Lie |

Maybe test it out on something cheap? Make a ship, any ship, that in the actual game is just barely cap stable. Then see what the fitting tools have to say about it. http://vincentoneve.wordpress.com/ |

You can be pretty certain that none of them are correct. Pyfa and EFT use simplified models and the in-game fitting screen uses incorrect assumptions.The largest differentiator is that the fitting assumes that you are running the salvager and tractor beam constantly and that you fire the rails with whatever cap-eating ammo you've put into them at full tilt without ever reloading.
GǪnone of that happens, and as such, your cap draw is much lower than the game thinks.

Cap stability is overrated! Change isn't bad, but it isn't always good. Sometimes, the oldest and most simple of things can be the most elegant and effective. |

All my ships that are cap stable above 33% in EFT are cap stable in EVE. Even when there was a visual bug that showed your capacitor draining to 0 then it becoming full then 12346754323456/3000 and you had a really long capacitor bar in your ship info. |

Putting all the high slots offline shows 32% in eve. Still way off the 48/57% of the tools.

It's been quite awhile since I worried about whether a fit was cap stable or not, admittedly it's been a while since I did any missioning. To carve a successful niche for yourself in EVE you need to be able to out sell, out produce, out fight,-á out run, or out wit your competitors. If you can do none of the above, your only option is to complain on the forums that somehow you are at a disadvantage using the exact same tool set-áas the rest of the player base. |

Hmm, it's not specifically the cap stable bit that bothers me (although I do afk missions sometimes, so stability does matter to me) it's the fact that those numbers are so completely out of whack.
I'm trying out different fits in the tools before paying for them in eve, so I'd actually like some accurate information on what works and what doesn't. |

Currently no, not in the form of a third party program like EFT/Pyfa. Some margin of error should be expected when calculating exact numbers when it comes to cap as it has always been that way and since third party programs don't calculate things like cap levels exactly like Eve does. That said, if you're getting that level of variation between in-game cap levels and what EFT or Pyfa is telling you, I'd would urge one to double check your settup on those programs (skills, imps, links, etc.) to ensure you're not getting false indications. |

Was'nt complaining about the free tools which i've donated towards and supported for a few years, great bits of software and really helpfull, the original post was a question about wether or not there is a more accurate tool or other method of calculating cap better. |

PYFA shows the wrong one actually. in PYFA the cap calculator shows much more stable cap than the other tools. I've heard EVE HQ is the most accurate from a friend who uses it, and I know EFT shows capacitors as just slightly more stable than in EVE. and using the ingame fitting window to figure out cap stability is wrong as you it won't let you simulate situations in which modules are not in use etc., like MWDs being deactivated or Nos mods in use. also PYFA has a horrible UI. so I'd rather use EFT(because i'm too lazy to use EVE HQ). |

If you can setup a testcase where pyfa has the wrong stability number compared to actually doing it ingame, I'd very much like to get that so we can fix whichever bug slipped in pyfa. Which example did you test this with ? |

Try the new online one in ships and modules. I checked a fit in there the other day and it looked pretty solid as far as up to date, (Incursion 1.2), and accurate.
Osmium iirc
The only reason you'd fit a billion ISK module on a ship is for anoms or sleeper sites in what is most often safe territory, (i.e: generally free from gank threats), so I'm not going to bother telling you it's stupid to PvP in such a fit as I'm pretty sure you already know that.
That said, I lost a 2.5 billion ISK Tengu in just such a site saving a Moros from total destruction once by warping in and pulling all the aggro off it. Fun times. I have deleted and cleared my signature 7 times and it still won't go away. |

More like in this thread:
- op posting asking a simple question about accuracy in the free tools available that simulate fittings - veteran's posting snark, competely unrelated to the op's question.
It seems a pretty simple question 'is there a free tool that accurately simulates cap usage' since the ones he's tested (and the ones I've tried) clearly don't. Cheers Sobaan for actually giving an answer. The eve related application development probably would have been a better place for this question, but I assume the general discussion forum gets more views and that's why the op posted it here.
IIn my case, 've not tried PYFA yet (windows, need to install the dependencies) but EFT & EveHQ both show wildly wrong numbers after importing my skills from the api and ensuring the fit matches what I have in game. Not a little bit out, but over 20% out. I'll try PYFA and se if that's any better. |
