Power Draw Up?

Has power usage gone up for some items? My Viper was right on the limit before 1.1, with non-essentials shutting down on hard point deployment. Got the shock of my life when I submitted to interdiction all ready to give the interdictor a run for his money when clunk, on comes emergency life support. Was fine before 1.1, all working fine.
 
Can't speak on whether this is due to the update but I also find myself having difficulties making an outfit for the Viper that does not exhaust the power - even with the best power plant. I thought that was just to force you to prioritize though.
 
Yes, it always was tricky with some compromises having to be made.

I knew the number of shield cell charges were down considerably but looks like power draw is up too.

Back to the Cobra for me... for a ship that's supposed to be a fighter it's hard to spot the real world difference between the Viper and Cobra and the Cobra gives you the flexibilty to do the odd cargo run. A kitted out Viper doesn't even have the capacity to pick up the odd canister floating about. Does sound good though :)
 
Yep, I died 2x before I realised what was going on... (power draw is much higher from the shield and thrusters).
My cobra was at 91% power draw before 1.1...... after 1.1 I was at 110%

Doesn't seem balanced to me
