I'm presuming you're talking about power distribution, and by your statement you set it at a preference (certain configuration) you like. But with the greatest respect you aren't getting the most out of your ship's capabilities this way, learning to distribute energy/power on the fly constantly is one of the most important practices to succeding in any combat situation.
Edit: To clarify if you're not sure what 'pips' to each capacitor does.
Varying pips to each capacitor has two functions for each:
Firstly for each - Distribute energy from your powerplant when it's needed (capacitor is drained)
Secondly for each - Pips to SYStems boosts shield strength, to ENGinges varies your top speed and blue-zone sweet spot, and to WEaPons for cooling of your hardpoints.
