Just got around to fitting up a ship with the new shield boosters and was very impressed with the results of my first skirmish although the guy slipped away from me. Afterwards I went back to EFT to play some more and added a blue pill to the line up to see what that would look like on an XL asb fitting. I was surprised to see my tank actually dropped!! Only by 10 or so, obviously from the shield capacity side effect, but was unsure if it was an EFT error or something I missed? If EFT error will post over in the regular EFT thread/ request a move.


TLDR; Does blue pill not work with the new ancillary shield boosters?


Thanks to those with some answers.


Edit: Don't want to waste a pill to find out, although it may answer my question as well.

I'm pretty sure I saw that listed as a bug somewhere...

I am pretty sure the drugs do nothing, or you'd have a Crystal implanted, blue pil popping, Tengu-boosted Cyclone pulling up to 2800 EHP active tank with an XLASB.

I've heard it's bugged and blue pill does not work with ASB.

Not sure about the current state. But ancillary boosters not being affected by boosters and rigs was a bug and was supposedly fixed last week. At least according to patch notes. I personally did not checked it ingame. If you have ship with cycle time rig, have a look at the stats. If cycle tyme is lower than 4s then the bug is corrected.


Neither Pyfa, nor EFT was updated to that change yet.
