Does "Capacitor Management" increase the GJ cost of initiating a jump

I have a Rhea and the Capacitor cost of initiating a jump is 71%

But if I put more points into "Capacitor Management" then my capacitors total capacity will increase but if initiating a jump is a fixed percentage then this would mean that the recharge time for the next jump is increased.

The very sun of heaven seemed distorted when viewed through the polarising miasma welling out from this sea-soaked perversion, and twisted menace and suspense lurked leeringly in those crazily elusive angles of carven rock where a second glance shewed concavity after the first shewed convexity.

I can't help but think you posted this in the wrong forum.

To answer your question. If you increase your capacitor, then you still need 71% cap to initiate jump so in theory you need more capacitor (in GJ) to jump. However as your total capacitor increases, then your recharge increases as well so the time it takes to reach a high enough level to jump will remain the same, unless you use smaller ships with cap transfers to fuel it.

So what's my motivation to train Capacitor Management on a character who's only job is to fly a Rhea?

Don't. Just train the skill that increases recharge.

Makes sense. Thanks.

Oh yeah. This was supposed to go in the skill forum. That's what I get for opening both forums at the same time.

And it explains why Miz of all people got it.

If recharge time increases at the same rate, then no time is lost or gained by training the skill.
( I didn't do the maths)
I guess my point is though, there's no downside if the skill is already trained. And, you might want higher cap for other ships/long warps. (Covert haulers?)

Let's look at a Rhea as an example:

Rhea Capacitor Capacity: 35000 GJ
Rhea Capacitor Recharge Time: 431154 s

Notice something? The recharge rate isn't GJ per second, or % per second, it is a flat amount of time!

If the capacitor has twice as much capacity, it takes the same amount of time to recharge! Mind-blown!

Things that use a fixed amount of energy on a jump freighter: well there is only one, initiating warp, but that will never exhaust your capacitor. More capacitor will also give you higher resistance to energy neutralizers and drains, but if you are facing those you are probably already dead.

If you warped someplace, jumped, and then needed to recharge for a 2nd jump, having trained the skill would be beneficial, although its hard to say if the marginal value is worth the train. Many JF pilots only cyno to stations, so for them, the utility is only if something goes wrong, in such a way that they fall into the above narrow use, and that the very slightly quicker jump cap saves them.

Capacitor Management skill totally suits any ship that use active module it's will be very benefit for combat logic or anything else like pvp pve explo scavenger because it's increase max cap and amount of cap recharge in same times . but it's still maintain same time as ship cap-recharge descriptions.

i think like Tau Cabalander . ccp should fixed amount of cap consume of warpdrive .
