EVE Search. Armour and Shields Lore. Originally by: Erayo4. What difference is there between powergrid and capacitor - they both seem to be producing energy. I've always thought of the ships of Eve as sort of a semi-perpetual motion unit. For instance, they take a jump-start from station services to get running, but once they're up and firing they can support themselves pretty much indefinitely. (this is kinda backed up by game mechanics that restrict the on-lining and off-lining of modules in space, requiring station services to do it effectively, or proper support at a POS.)
I've thought about how a ship would function in space a lot, and in theory it seems they can run themselves. Basically, as an Electrical engineer, it seems to me that the differences between powergrid and capacitor are simple.

EVE is all about empowerment, almost everything in the game can be done by players.
This is the fundamental divide between the successful player and the failure. As an example: You want to build a huge megacorp, with a massive fleet and conquer space? ANYONE can do it. Backstage - OOC Forums - Index. EVEmu • Index page.
