Cap to shields puts all the energy from your caps and recharges your shield. it doesn't make it stronger it restores the shields energy.

and cap overload 3 is basically increasing your cap energy and recharge rate.

and all driod commands can be run at the same time

Thank you very much...this helps out alot. I will have to find a nice privateer willing to help me out now

I was just curious if someone can explain to me what this is..how it works and so forth.

I am a rebel pilot...so I am not even sure if it applies to me. It is something I would love to use though since I always find my xwing having a hard time keeping the firing going on my enemies.

THanks in advance for the help!

Basically it increases the recharge rate of your capacitor as well as the amount of energy it has. I currently use Capacitor Overload 3 and I believe it increases my cap. energy by around 40% but I'm not sure about recharge rate. In my oppinion it is one of the must have droid commands.

would I have to get this from a privateer? or can i program the chip myself?

also good to boost the performance of cap to shield shunt 3

and i think cap overload 3 is 70% cause i can get 1700+ out of my 1000 cap when i use it

What is cap to shield shut 3 do?

Cap. overlord would have to be gotten from a privateer I believe. Capacitor to shield shunt recharges the shields using about 80% (this is an estimate) of the capacitor energy. It is yet another stable program in my opinion. I believe you have to get that one from a privateer too.

So these are two seperate programs from a privateer...and just to be sure i get this...I would use them in my droid and have the cap overload 3 in use..then use the shunt to sheilds to get better shields in the process?

and they both can be run at the same time?

CO3 will increase your cap recharge and total stored energy and is a continuous program, i.e. it will keep running till you die, repair, or land. Cap to Shield Shunt is a repeatable program that will dump some of your capacitor energy into your shields each time you use it. This won't increase the max HP on your shields, but it will restore a fraction of your HP if your shields have been damaged. The amount of restoration depends on the level of your CTSS program and the total available energy in your capacitor.

I think there are 3 droids program you must have:

- Weapon Overload 3

- Cap overload

- Cap-Shield shunt

Weapon overload 3 is still buggy I think, so it increases Weapon damage but also decrease enrergy/shot. So almost unlimited fire shooting.

Cap overload to increase energy in capacitor (usefull for the next droid program, see below). I'm using Cap OV4

Cap-Shield shunt, to transfer energy from capacitor to shield. I'm using Shunt4, with this I can heal my shield to full state every 15 seconds.

Combine this with a good recharge-rate capacitor and nice shield, you can stay alive in really difficult areas.
