## Summary
</div>
The Bantam is the Caldari Logistics Frigate; Bantam pilots repair their fleetmates ships during battle. The Bantam is bonused for remote shield boosting, which matches the Caldari racial focus on shield tanking. The ships bonuses to remote shield booster amount, activation, and range make the underwhelming base stats of small remote shield boosters practically useful. Flying the Bantam is a great first step in learning about Logistics. Bantam pilots often go on train into heavier Tech I logistics cruisers (such as the Caldari Osprey), and then Tech II logistics ships (including the Kirin and Basilisk). But the Bantam is also effective all on its own, especially as a component of frigate or destroyer gangs, where speed is key.
One defining challenge of flying Tech I logistics frigates in general, and the Bantam in particular, is sustaining enough capacitor to run the ship. Remote repair modules are extremely cap-intensive, so the Bantam is typically fit to boost available capacitor—with cap rechargers in mid slots, capacitor control circuit rigs, and, if necessary, “Enduring” remote shield boosters (which consume less cap). Training character skills that increase capacitor will also help. It might seem that fitting the Bantam with an afterburner instead of a microwarpdrive (MWD) could spare some capacitor. But the Bantam needs to keep up with its small-ship fleetmates in order to repair them, so it usually needs an MWD. Pilots fitting the Bantam should use the in-game fitting simulation window, or an out-of-game tool like Pyfa, to match any fit to their specific skills and to gauge the ships cap stability. (This also means you may need to swap out modules on any pre-fit Bantam hulls that you purchase on corp contracts, to make them work with your skills.)
