Newcomer / Intro I don't understand the power management issues

[Elprez]

So, I have a Vulture with about 8 million in upgrades. My power plant is maxed out. My system is at 102%. I thought if I put my cargo hatch, fsd on priority 2 I was ok. When I launch the KWS scanner I keep getting the warning that my power is not enough and devices are disabled. Is that normal? The KWS works fine though. Am I worried for nothing?

When the Cargo Hatch and FSD turn off you get the message saying they are disabled. It's normal.

Its fine its just telling you there's currently too little power. When it says this it will turn off the fsd and cargo hatches.

And if you check the module data on the right panel, the KWS uses a stupidly large amount of power!

Great. Thanks for the replies!
