Get more of each with:

• Skills
• Modules
• Implants

Rigs and

Calibration

• Improves your ship in one way
• Harms it in another way
• Rigging skills reduce the drawback of rigs
• CANNOT be removed from a ship - only destroyed
• See complete list on the wiki

Cargo and

Drone Bays

• Cargo bay holds things
• Drone bay holds drones
• These do not mix!

Tracking Ship

Performance

• Attributes tab shows you:
• Capacitor Strength
• Offensive Power
• Defensive Power

Tech & Meta Levels

That’s a lot of modules

Compare Tool

Compare Tool

• All versions of one module do the same thing
• Click the tick boxes to see the slight variations
• Meta level: overall measure of power
• Beware exceptions!

​

​

• Trick: Tick that box to hide attributes that do not change!

Tech & Meta Levels

But what all of these names mean?

​

​

• Meta modules’ names have a meaning – they explain in what way module is better than T1
• In almost all cases Meta modules are better to use than T1s

• Upgraded: Straight-up better stats
• Compact: Reduced fitting cost (less CPU and Powergrid use)
• Enduring: Longer cycle time and/or lower capacitor use
• Ample: Higher capacity
• Scoped: Longer range
• Restrained: Less severe drawbacks
• Precise: Better tracking

Module Sizes

Not all modules have sizes

Some fits use “oversized” or “undersized” modules

Frigates

Destroyers

Cruisers

Battlecruisers

Battleships

Scripted Modules

Scripts can be changed on the fly!
