Will the NOS continue to siphon the full cap amount to you, regardless of the target ships cap level?
I.E if the enemy is neuted out will NOS be capturing the same or significantly less cap?
Just wondering because it would make it a bit more difficult to keep an enemy capped out if you're running the dual web with no booster, as you would need to switch the NOS onto someone new to keep yourself stable. I guess you could leave one of the medium neuts on the old target to keep them locked down.

It will continually suck cap regardless of the enemy's cap level but if it sucks 160GJ and they only have 84.125GJ then you only get 84.125GJ. I don't believe this ship can draw cap from nothing |

Ah okay, thought I'd check, haven't had much experience with neut ships and Guardians can generate it out of thin air after all :D
So if you have 3/2 setup is the best idea to neut out your closest target then throw 2 neut and 2 nos onto your next target while keeping 1 neut on your original so that you keep them from regaining enough cap to do anything useful?
Any useful tips appreciated. |

All based on cycle time and whether you think your target is cap boosted either locally or like a guardian from another source...
Nos's have a quick cycle time but less neuting power, so are good for keeping a target capped out without the chance of cycling hardeners for example. However you must also remember you will not be getting as much cap due to the enemy being empty so you run the risk of capping yourself out.
Neuts cycle slower but neut more, so an enemy may be able to generate enough cap between cycles to use something. Runing two neuts in tandem (one then the other halfway through it cycle) helps mitigate this.
My usual practice is to work on a primary bases, cap out your primary, once your confident he's out keep the neuts on him Then have your nos's on a secondary or tertiary target (if in range).
If you can only get hold of one target, i use the nos's to keep him capped.
Obviously this is up for a lot variation due to circumstance....

One on one it could be a close run thing lol, if the curse capped you out you would do no dmg and have no neuts lol other way round and the ashimmi would do more dmg... but it all depends on the situation  Ashimmu makes a great hard tackle, shutting down a target completely. But your right for large fleet battle, range becomes more of a factor. Overheated Faction webs on an ashimmu makes it a much less appealing 1v1 for a curse. All depends on the neuts lol... Curse gets its damage from drones, ashimmu from lasers, so the curse can have more neuts with out sacraficing dmg... and once the ashimmu is capped... its screwed
To say it again: with 2 medium NOS a shimmu does not get below 20% Capacitor. Even under Neuts from a Curse. You never ever cap out once you are in Nos range. And again: I ran 2 medium armor reppers and my lasers while i had a full rack of Curse neuts on me.
Edit: Reppers pulsed every Nos Cycle that means ofc, tackle ran forever. (A type NOS has silly cycle times, especially with talismans)
sadly, a curse usually does not fly alone, so you're screwed anyways :P

Hmm would like to test this... i cant believe you can run all that under bonused neuts... sounds to me like the curse wasnt cycling properly?
And yeah... solo curses are rare and far between lol

Well with pimp each Nos gets 3.3s cycle time, so yes, you can run a lot, but i guess it was not cycled properly. Problem is still that running Neuts costs cap, NOSes don't, you do not want to stay close to blood ships for extended periods of time usually :)

Sadly that would leave the Blood Ships no longer unique, which was the idea :P

Just so, Curse is still master of projection and perfect for larger fleet fights (and the TD can be useful too).
Pilgrim has a cloak.... because cloak.... cloak....
The ashimmu is similar but seperate to the curse, being armour tanked and having shorter range changes its play style alot...
It also doesnt have a cloak...
