Do you also have the problem, that rats dont give any cap, when you activate a nos on them? They used to give cap sometimes, but since march or april, i dont get any cap from then, regardless if i use a medium or large Nos.

i'm REALY miss the old stuff.

I have send a bugreport.

Clearing the cache doesnt seem to fix this issue, I also tried a smaller nos, but i still get nothing from rats.

I tried to use a nosferatu on a gist serpathin and i got cap from that rat. (2x Imperial heavy nosferatus on a kronos)

It seems, that noses are working correct, when my own cap is almost empty, however, when my cap is more than 40-50% full, i still get nothing.

In this thread, I dont find anything, about using NOSes on NPCs


And someone told me, that Noses on rats works like before Odyssey 1.1

What isn't said, is that rats have a small capacitor amount, a battleship has like 1000 units, and so your own battleship will not drain cap with the nos, before you yourself has 999 cap.

You wouldn't be confused with the new Bhaalgorn series NOS bonus, would you?

I would like to jump in here, that when odyssey 1.1 came out, I too recall being told that NOS against an NPC was meant to work the same as pre-odyssey, and the change was only to affect PVP, not PvE.

Something along the lines of "The NPCs cap value is (effectively) infinite"

I can confirm that pre-Odyssey, rats had a small amount of capacitor that could be drained at 100% efficiency with a NOS until they went dry. I cannot confirm that I am able to get capacitor from them post-Odyssey, however I am fairly convinced it's not working anymore. It is difficult to tell for sure if I'm getting no capacitor at all or just a lot less, but I'm certainly not getting 1-2 full cycles worth from level 4 mission battleship rats like I used to.

Deltole

Most NPC ships have alot smaller caps than player ships. F.ex. our nightmares have 8000+ while a random Deltole has max of 3800. Meaning you will only get cap back after you've dropped below 50% of your own. And that's on the most ideal situations.

And draining a rat to zero does not affect their capabilties, IIRC, right?

Trying out all the things to do here in Eve - it's quite a checklist. So I made a blog Jakob's Eve Checklist
