1. High slot item, and it’s mounted on the spot of a turret, but fans out as something resembling a solar sail
2. It’s a passive module.
3. It doesn’t use much CPU.
4. It does increase signature radius by a modest amount. These things are ‘noisy’.
5. The device sucks in particle energy from surrounding space. This energy is converted into a small but significant bonus to capacitator recharge rate or capacitator.

What fit are you thinking this would be useful on?

Sounds like OP just wants a perma nos.

@Khannea_Sun-Tzu just use a capacitor control circuit rig, it’ll be better and we don’t need to come up with silly things that aren’t necessary

Having space in high slots, not enough energy for mid and lows. You add a little energy with a fairly plausible explanation. Plus the fit given a nice structure on the turrent mount will look awesome AF. Means, opportunity, motive, “rationale”.

No, this is called an energy nosferatu, or…cap rechargers, batteries, boosters, power relays, cap rigs, a bunch of skills, implants, boosters…

Ya know, the thousand and one different ways to increase your capacitor.
