Power Mechanics Overview

Minimum Power Requirement Your ship must have 0 or more energy to launch into battle. No power = no launch.

Energy Balance Energy is calculated as a balance between:

• Production: Energy cores (and photovoltaic panels) generate power
• Consumption: Weapons, energy shields, etc.

Power Benefits (0-100 Energy) Ships with energy levels approaching 100 gain significant combat advantages:

• Reduced some weapon cooldowns
• Extended some weapon firing duration (for example lasers)
• Benefits scale with your energy level – the closer to 100, the stronger the bonuses
• Important: No additional benefits above 100 energy

Power Penalties (Below 0 Energy) If your ship’s energy drops below 0 during combat, expect severe performance hits:

• Drastically weakened weapons
• Compromised ship systems
