Oxygen running out!!!

Hi,

New to ED, tried a forum search for my problem with no luck, so....

When I deploy hardpoints, my oxygen starts to run out and my shields turn off, I also appear to be wearing a facemark?????

Can't find a control for turning facemask oxygen on/off?

It's only happened on my Eagle since upgrading a couple of weapons, so I'm thinking they're the cause???

Cheers,

Roy

you need a bigger power plant, or shut down some of your modules in the right UI panel(or just change their priorities)

If you go to the right panel and look at the modules tab, you will be able to change the priorities of your modules. It will also show you how much over your power plants capabilities you are using.

I found that running 3 weapons would cause the life support to offline, my solution was to offline the cargo hatch prior to deploying weapons.

Welcome aboard Commander!

Go to Modules on your right hand control panel and switch your Frameshift drive to Priority 2, since you can't use that drive while you have hardpoints deployed anyways. This should prioritise power to your weapons. If that's still not enough try dropping other non-combat systems e.g. Cargo Scoop to priority 2 also.

Alternatively buy an upgraded Power Plant, the base spec one in the Eagle struggles to cope with the power draw of upgraded weapons.

LOL..oh boy....this thread got me to thinking..all the newbs are gonna go mad watching themselves die of hypoxia unaware of power management/priority... Hope they do a little research first :)

I hope they don't. I'd hate to be the only one to show up to a gun fight, deploy my guns and watch my shields wink out. That was a moment I won't soon forget.

I'm flying a Type 6 with no weapons, I am not even at 50% of my power limits, yet occasionally when exiting hyperspace I've suddenly lost atmosphere only for it to switch back on after a second or two and it's restored.

So perhaps not related, but the energy system does seem a little finicky at the moment.

That seems to be a server synchronization issue. I sometimes have "shields retored" audio messages after dropping out of supercruise at starports, for example.

Nah, your ship is just a clunker, sorry to say it - but you've been ripped off by your ship dealer. ;)

I've been getting shields offline & oxygen warning messages in a stock Sidewinder since the last patch. Although when it says "Shield's offline" I'm still seeing three blue rings around my ship model so I'm hoping it's a glitch.....

The game should make it more obvious that they're running out of power.

There should be an audible power down type noise as well as a verbal "power critical" warning from the computer.

They should really re-work the Eagle in the game and give it a better power unit as standard. It's a sexy looking ship, true, but the problems people have been having with it! :eek:

It would be nice it there was a message low power, life support turned off or something.
Was wondering why it happened every time i deployed weapons.
figured it out in the end. the system shows the power usage in red when it gets past 100%
