Power plant with 30MW, modules consuming 30MW = Disabled?

[CMDR Kantos Kan]

Not sure what has changed in the latest patch, but now (actually, since 1.4 came out), each time I deploy my hard points, I get the message that power is exceeded (or the like) and that modules have been disabled. Of course, I had setup the cargo hatch to be disabled first, so that's not too bad.

However, what I don't understand is that I have a class 5A power plant generating 30MW of power. My entire consumption is 30MW. I'm not exceeding the power I have, why do I now have this message while I didn't have it under 1.3?

The power value Contains decimal values (after the dot) that are not displayed.

So so your power consumption will really be 100.01%

real question would be what module changed his power value, because you could run that config in 1.3...

1. It is probably 20,40 MW on a 5A PP
2. 30 MW would b le the Python's 7A PP
3. Sensors now have been changed slightly, I don't know if the power consumption is affected but you better check.
4. If it says 30 MW, it may be 30,04 MW and so being too much.
5. I recommend you to check our module priorities, you can see on the bottom if you have enough power

Hope that helps

Hard to say - if you post your load out from one of the outfitting sites it would help see what might be going on.

Make your loadout here http://coriolis.io really easy power managment with this site.

Already did. Here it is: http://coriolis.io/outfit/python/07...86g2f.Iw18eQ==.IwBhrSuzVI==?bn=Laurent Python

coriolis doesn't report my setup as exceeding power. And coriolis seems to calculate with 2 decimals. It shows my total power consumption at 30.00MW. I would imagine that the math is fairly straightforward. I'm not exceeding...

Given that load out you are well UNDER power given the power priorities, are you sure the module priorities are setup in game the same?

Yes, they are. Only the cargo hatch and the FSDI are disabled when I deploy. My question had to do with why are they disabled when I deploy and why am I getting the warning? I'm not exceeding the plant power and I was not getting that warning pre-1.4.

Those sites may not always be perfect due to way Elite shows their stats. Check the right module panel and that should tell you more than coriolis for sure
