What skills improve CPU capacity?

Well for those who end up here after a google search or whatever:
The main skill for increasing CPU is Electronics. CPU needs for some modules can also be reduced by training skills like Electronics upgrades. There is no rig that increases your CPU.

You also want to train Weapon Upgrades. And there also are implants for weapon CPU. --- I don't know! I don't know why I did it, I don't know why I enjoyed it, and I don't know why I'll do it again! Bart Simpson. |

...and, if/when you're really stupid like me, once you can fit a T2 gunnery rig, like Medium Projectile Burst Aerator II, onto your Hurricane (for $23M !!!!) and then suddenly you understand how ungodly the CPU usage drawback is, you will really wish you had trained Weapons Upgrades to 5. And electronics, and even Electronics Upgrades for your random other modules that don't figure into this. All for the gigantic CPU sink of a T2 gunnery rig.
ed: but you could always use that EVE fitting tool everyone uses, that I do not, and have saved yourself the horror.

How much do those actually help, in the grand scheme of things?

And the same goes for the mentioned skillz. How much do they help? I gather WU and AWU are worthwhile to 5, but what about the others?

Except gun rigs increase the PG use of a gun, not CPU. So Advanced Weapon Upgrades would help here, not the regular. --- Drykor - AHARM |

I've never used any of them nor have I ever toyed with a fit that would have benefited from them, but I also religiously build to avoid fitting implants and many times these rigs could take their place. Whether they are ever actually optimal... well, probably not.

Originally by: Zhilia Mann As for the skills... well, I'd advise anyone eventually max their fitting skills. Whether that includes rigging skills (or at least the fitting-related ones) more or less depends on what rigs you use and how often you find yourself running short on resources. Drone rigging 5, for instance, could really open up some fits CPU-wise....
What do you mean by fitting skillz?
Obviously one should train Electronics and Engineering and Weapon Upgrades to 5, and AWU to 4 and eventually to 5 (which I have), but there are a bunch of other Upgrades skillz that affect only a very narrow category of modules.
Ones like Energy Grid Upgrades, Shield Upgrades, and so forth. How worthwhile are those to train to 5, relative to having them at 4?
Also, in my experience (as a Caldari pilot who thinks gnns are very silly), CPU is the bigger problem than energy grid in 19 out of 20 fits I try to compose, so I consistently use a +3% CPU implant, and I wish the game had more options for CPU boost. It seems as if there are many options to get more powergrid, but few ways to get more CPU.

Which CPU implant are you using. That would help me.
Weapon upgrades and Advanced weapon upgrades helped the most for me. The other skills help but not nearly as much.
Like one of you said, Caldari missile boats seem to eat CPU. Buying named Modules over T2 helps too. But when you start trying to fit up a frig with no room with standard missiles you run out fast. Rockets are great but at times you need more punch. |

KMB series. The 50 is the +3% and tends to be pretty cheap. But slot 6 can be pretty precious, so I tend to like to leave it open for other uses.

Edited by: Jal Garai on 17/06/2011 21:03:40 Train Core Fitting to Elite. You'll get a nice certificate and the knowledge that if you still can't fit a ship the way you want then you're either fitting it really badly or going to have to spend a whole lot of isk.

For the most part that's true, but Core Fitting actually leaves out the little guys like Electronics Upgrades, Energy Grid Upgrades, and the fitting-related rigging skills. And for whatever reason I'm seeing more and more fits (on forums) that are requiring those more limited-application fitting skills to 5 to work without implants.

Spend 30 minutes making ISK and buy a 3%, or spend 30 days maxing a skill that gives you no other benefit? ---

It's more an objection to taking up slot 6 with something that meh than an objection to spending 25mil. Omegas are nifty, ZET series is quite decent, and the scanning thingy is also nice. If you shield tank without crystals or any other pirate set and don't fly a torp ship (torpedoes are also slot 6) then I guess maybe a fitting implant is your best bet.
