I know this seems silly but how do I use a cap booster?
When fitted there is a red sign indicated 'no charge' but I don't know how to charge it - if indeed I need to do this. When my cap falls I click on the icon expecting an injection of cap but all I get is a voice message saying 'a module has run out of charges' and an on-screen message saying 'the module has nothing to fire'.
I'm trying to use a medium cap booster in a Thorax.
Help!

Capacitor Booster modules use ammo called "Cap Boosters" which can be found on the market under 'Ammunition & Charges' -> 'Cap Booster Charges'. |

Cap boosters use charges to work. You can find these as loot (or buy them in the market/produce them)and they come in varying strengths from 'Cap Booster 25' to 'Cap Booster 800'. They work like gun ammo, you have a pile of them in your cargo hold and you load them into the 'Medium Capacitor Booster I' either by dragging the booster ammo onto the booster icon or by right clicking on the icon and selecting the ammo that you want to use. It'll load x charges of that booster type. Once loaded you simply click on the booster module to start it working and then every time period (perhaps 15 seconds, depending on booster module) it'll consume one charge and give you that much cap in return. Once it runs out of charges it will attempt to auto-load more charges from your cargo hold, just like a gun auto-loads more ammo. |

I know this sounds silly, but how do you click the undock button to undock? |

Your objective is to use the small device on the right side of your keyboard(called a mouse) to move the pointer(also called the cursor - the little arrow) on the dock button and press the left button on the mouse. A standard mouse has 2 buttons and a roller (also called a scroll wheel) between them. To make sure that you can achieve this daunting task here is a guide to using your mouse. How to position your hand on a mouse: Place your hand on top of the mouse, and grip the mouse at your preference. If you are right handed, the index finger should click the left button. You are now ready to mouse and click. How to mouse and click: Mousing should require only the motion of the fingers, not the whole hand. Look at the pointer on the screen and move the mouse between your thumb and pinky fingers according to your desired direction. Remember that the distance to reach an object on the screen is very small for the mouse and your hand on the table. For maximum precision, the 2 fingers should move less than a millimeter. You can configure the pointer speed by launching the Mouse Properties windows in the Control Panel, or with the manufacturer drivers. The left button of the mouse is used to click on a software button on the screen (or an Internet link on a web page) to launch either a function, or a window etc. The right button is used to open a dynamic context menu close to the pointer position on the screen, from which commands can be launched, and then disappear. The roller between the 2 buttons on the mouse replaces the vertical scroll bar movement on the window to navigate up and down either on a page, a spreadsheet, a picture, etc: roll wheel up (extend your finger) to scroll up and roll wheel down (flex your finger) to scroll down. Usually all buttons are programmable to change their settings and functions depending on your preferences. Congratulations, you should now know the basics of using a mouse and are ready to explore the world of EVE by successfully undocking your ship. |
