Grismar's EVE Wiki : CapDraining

Cap Draining (NOS/Neuts)

Cap draining with Nosferatus or Neutralizers reduces your targets cap and in some cases adds it to your own.

Methods of application:

• Modules - NOS and Neuts are highslot modules, the main attributes of which are range, cap amount neutralized or drained and cycle time.
• Drones - There are neutralizing drones available in various sizes.

Working Mechanism:

The mechanic for these is simple, each of them have a cycle time. Every cycle time seconds the cap amount is drained from the enemy. In case of NOS, the cap is added to your own, in the case of neuts you sacrifice a certain amount of energy but get a much bigger effect on the targets capacitor.
