I have a destroyer that i love to take rat hunting but I find that the for the long engagements I don't have the capacitor power left to run or use my guns, I use rail guns and one launcher on my cormorant. SO... I've seen the cap boosters and I have no idea how to use them though I want to. Someone hit me with the knowledge!!!!

Edited by: Panch0Villa on 25/06/2007 17:21:10 To use a cap booster, first train up Engineer I and Energy Systems Operations I, most likely, you already have.
Next, buy the module under Market category: Ship equipment/Engineering/Cap Boosters. Fit it to your ship, and buy some cap booster charges. I'd recommend cap boost 200's, under Ammo/Charges category.
Now, in game, all you have to do is hit your cap booster to get that boost.
Long-term fix: train up engineering to get more cap. Also, you didn't mention what you fitted on your ship. Telling us that may help us troubleshoot your setup. Care to mention what exactly is fitted on your ship?

Engineering gives you powergrid, not capacitor. Energy Management and Energy Systems Operation are the two capacitor skills. They can't top the output of a cap booster, however. Cap boosters are great for PvP, or any other situations where you need a lot of capacitor but only need to keep it up for a short time.

They kinda work just like weapon mods. Slap on a booster
Then load it up with some booster charges
The size of the charge is how much cap you'll be getting each rep.

if you can, it might be prudent to fit a Power Diagnostic Unit instead of the reactor control unit, or maybe even an Auxiliary power core, if you can train the skills...
If you're not actually using the missile launcher, or can do without, that might be worth considering. An extra launchers' damage vs. having enough cap to use it? That's up to you...
Also, some of the hybrid ammo cuts capacitor need, such as the Lead ammo, though I would prefer the higher damage of the others.
All in all, I think that the cap booster would prolly remedy the problem pretty well by itself... You'd be trading some damage mods or EWar mods to get your cap up. If you don't want to train skills, you may have to make a tradeoff somewhere.
Good luck

Energy Management and Energy Systems Operation are also great skills to have at level 4. Theres some other skills that will reduce the amount of capacitor require to run certain mods, but those 3 will give you the most out of your ship. They're lower ranked skills too, so they should train fairly quickly.
Load capacitor charges in your booster, and when you start to run low, turn the booster on to inject the charge into your capacitor. Other alternatives are capacitor batteries which increase your total capacitor amount and capacitor rechargers which increase the recharge rate.
Missile launchers don't use capacitor, don't worry about it. Only drop it if it allows you to fit 6x 125mm rails. If you're hunting NPC rats, you don't need a warp scrambler. And if you aren't that close, you won't need to turn the web on, either, you should still be able to hit close range frigs.
Play around wiht Quickfit (check ships and modules forum) and see what kind of loadout works best for cap sustainability, shield tanking, and damage.
