I'm modeling a Rifter fit that closely resembles this:

And I'm running out of CPU to fit all of that. So I was thinking, maybe I can put some rigs in there to increase CPU... but I couldn't find any that do that! Then I figured I'd swap out one of the gyrostabilizers for something to increase CPU...again, couldn't find something that does that.
I've only found rigs and low-slot items that increase POWERGRID. Which...isn't helpful. Can anybody help me?
Also....what is up with this rifter? It looks different from a vanilla rifter. (edit, or do I just need to increase the graphic settings in EVE to see all the details on this rifter?)

Your looking for a Co-Processor.
Also that rifter isnt using gyrostabilizers, those guns are blasters, so the thigns in it's lows are Mag stabs.

For modules, try replacing some of your modules with the 'named' variants that might use less CPU
As the poster above said, a co-processor is a low-slot module that boosts your cpu output. You should generally avoid fitting a co-processor onto your ship though as it takes the place a module that could be more valuable - like increased damage or tank.
With this in mind, I strongly suggest increasing your skill level in Electronics or Weapon Upgrades. Training either or both of those skills even a single level can give you the CPU that you're looking for. These are considered 'support skills', but since they can have a significant impact on what you can fit onto your ship, they should not be underestimated.
Hope this helps.

Thank you both for your shared knowledge. I have weapon upgrades trained to lvl IV. I also have electronics trained to lvl V, so those shouldn't be the issue.
Co-Processor, check. So...is there a RIG that does the same thing as a Co-Processor?
So the reason the rifter in the above picture looks different is because of it's Blasters and Mag-Stabs? *EDIT* That is NOT a rifter, that ship in the picture is a WOLF. Also...there is a bit to be learned from this. I didn't realize that you could put blasters on matari ships. So..that kinda changes things...

If a person is fitting blasters to a Wolf then they should have their breathing(And breeding) rights revoked. But as stated, get your Weapon Upgrades(And Advanced Weapon Upgrades for more PG) + your Electronics skill to 5 ASAP(4 for AWU is fine though)

Quote:Co-Processor, check. So...is there a RIG that does the same thing as a Co-Processor?

Nope, there is not a rig to increase CPU. As said above, an easy way to decrease CPU is to replace existing modules with named variants (warp scrambler with j5b prototype scram, web with langour drive disruptor, etc.)
Also, while you -can- put any type of weapon on any ship that has the hardpoints to fit them, the fact that you technically -can- fit blasters on a wolf is irrelevant. I would like to emphasize that it does NOT change things... All of the Wolf's weapon bonuses apply exclusively to small projectile turrets, and anyone who wastes them by fitting blasters is a terrible, terrible person who should be podded back to 900k SP.

good way to lower cpu is to drop t2 stuff for meta 4.
if your fit is really tight (dingalingaling) it can help out a little.

Originally by:Tub Chilis it legal to fit hybrids on a rifter?

'Legal' as in 'you can do it', yes.
'Legal' as in 'people will not think you should be locked up before you hurt yourself', no.

why blasters on a rifter ffs? you want to make that rifter a laughing stock amongst their pairs?
if you want to fit a rifter like a taranis, buy a taranis

Well, here you have another option to ease CPU in fittings.
That is if you want to keep fitting hybrid guns on your rifter.

Yup. Algids reduce turret CPU needs for hybrids and lasers. I've never seen them used and never been tempted myself, but technically you can eke out more CPU with rigs. Liquid cooled electronics and powergrid subroutine maximizers also do the same for a few modules. But seriously: meh.
