Eagle loadout

Hello. I've recently purchased an Eagle, planned on kitting it out with a Railgun and a couple of beam or pulse weapons. At the moment however, I only got the Railgun and one pulse laser. The problme is, whenever I try to deploy hardpoints my ship shuts down, all systems. After some testing, I discovered that the railgun simply draws too much power. I've seen some videos of people using the Eagle and Railgun, with 2 other weapons, so I was wondering if there are any other upgrades I'm missin?

Also, is there any way to actually check if you got enough power on the ship to actually use the weapons you buy? It's disappointing to buy a new weapon, only to discover in combat that you don't have enough power to use it.

Same happened to me, also noticed the drop in range. Its down to the game being about 4 or so months out from release, we're simply missing things like bigger engines, exotic fuels etc.

While that thread had some good information, it only confused me further, as those people run with 2-3 Railguns. I guess FD changed the power system for the public beta. In any case, I'll just haul some more cargo with the hauler, and test out the Viper instead, as I was extremely disappointed with the Eagle, even with 3 low-powered weapons you can hardly get anywhere, except for a few systems due to the hyperspace limitation with some tonnage on the ship.
