What is going on can someone kindly explain why... Im cruising along, all is well, I deploy my cargo scoop. Suddenly my whole ship turns off and I'm given a time till my air runs out! This is remedied by turning of the cargo hatch module (power is restored to the ship). Under scrutiny its not going over the power limit its sticking at 100 like it should so whats going on?

Thanks again for the help guys, you lot are keeping me in this. I would have given up from frustration days ago. Cheers

you have too much equipment that is drawing power from your power plant. Activatingt he scoops then forces other systems to shut down....

There should be an 'hold breath' option.
