Now I'm playing with power

[Webimpulse]

Hey, I'm back! The Powerplay update has brought me back to the game like a zombie to brains. And to celebrate, I made a video where I get into more serious combat than I have in my previous Elite: Dangerous videos and live to tell the tale.

Behold my suckitude at space combat in glorious 1080p:

This has noticeably less fail than my previous videos. But I'm still mostly harmless.

You are going to have a significantly better experience if you learn some power management (pip management). You have left 2 in each of the system / engines / weapons for the duration, even when your lasers are out of power.

Oh, I completely forgot about power management! This may sound like a silly question, then, but if you divert power to weapons, then you'll get more shots with lasers before thermal overload, right?

Also you could find some high tec station which has better variety of gear, when you will get more money. Like Interdictor for example.

Yes, more power to the weapons means you can keep firing your guns longer before they overheat.

I could use an interdictor! Any idea where I can find one?

Thanks! I know that sounded like a stupid question but I just had to be sure.
