Power distributor engineers PLEASE!

This is simpley a plea for the engineers to offer a ''militery'' grade PD. I find it to be such a limmiting factor for so many ships.

Imagine a viper with a class 4 or a python with a class 8! it would obviously waigh more and use significantly more power but good god it would realy change things!

I would rather have engies' allowing to change the sys/weap/eng of the capactitor while keeping the total the same.

It would be handy for an explorer anaconda to fit a small D class capacitor focused on engines to be able to boost
while keeping the weight low.

Yea that would be nice to, so why not have the option for both? Who said there can be only one mod for each componanat?

Why ask for a "military" cap, when you can ask for the ability to shift priorities, by hard setting the cap to recharge certain energy-levels prioirzed?
Like having less sys-recharge per pip, while increasing wep?

I hust feel like there is not enough energy to go round. I want to have 4 pipd in sys and still fire my beams for 30seconds.

I always feel l ike I want one size bigger power dist.

I like the idea of being able to shift the recharge rate or cap size for each capacitor but I just think that having more power recharge all round would be awsome. Cant there be two options? I doubt it will be a case that you get one mod to chose from and thats it.

Agree 100%

Apart from speed (and agility), small ships suffer badly when it comes to the distributor. They already have poorly sustained boost and low DPS. But when those two are not even usable because you're waiting for PIPs to recharge? That is quite frustrating indeed.

I imagine there will be an engineer for every module. But let's hope the one for Distributors is one of the better ones

Increasing power to systems past max limits should have a drawback of feedback and distortions in certain situation otherwise everyone is going to hound those poor engineers and you're stuck in a que.

Increasing power past max limits should result in either a total loss of power at best or an explosion at worse.

Just learn to power manage the MW you do have. It isn't difficult.
