Power Management Question

[uvelius]

A Vulture one-shotted my Life Support with a Plasma Accelerator once, while I was still at a high hull level (must have been over 70%). That was ... interesting.

Did a quick test with turning off modules.
Starting off normally with pretty much everything online I hit around 90% firing all beam lasers,
Turning everything off and then doing the same, I run out of energy in wep's at around 75% heat capacity.

Video is still rendering I guess, so give it an hour or two.

You also got about 40% more 'firing time' with everything turned off

I think it proves the case for having multiple Power Management Schemes (PMS - LOL!) made available in a later update.

Yeah, it looks like that even if you have the biggest, baddest power plant in the galaxy, with more than enough power for all your equipment, you should probably still shut down any and all equipment you can't use with hard points deployed. It would be nice to have a more robust system that you could tell it that when I do this, or when this happens, I want you to do this (hard points deployed or retracted).
