power plant suddenly not good enough

guys i wasnt doing anything i have shield cells and beam lasers yes but i werent using any of them and normally i have power to spare now i can only barely keep it running just out of nowhere it said capacity exceeded and my shields and weapons turned off just as some guy started shooting me
No, it happened just as you deployed hardpoints. Weapons take no power until you deploy. Your shield cells take more power and this was the first time you deployed since the change.
Power plants have been balanced - you'll find your old loadout won't work.
I had to downgrade my thrusters and shield cells to get my Cobra working after the first time I deployed hardpoints in 1.1 and the whole ship shut down
If you don't already use power priority settings, put your FSD and Interdicter on priority 3, then they will switch off when you are in normal space and deploy hardpoints.
That might sort it out...

THIS
Loading up my Eagle for the first time since 1.1 and I had some major power issues. I had some before, but was able to manage it.
I dropped the class of my SCB and downgraded sensors and life support. Now all is good and it is still chewing up Cobras for breakfast.
you clearly arent listening to what im saying.. no i didnt deploy my hardpoints i wasnt shooting i wasnt using a shield cell i was not using anything at all i was just flying and if was because of a rebalance i wouldve noticed it earlier i had been playing for hours with that exact loadout not a single problem so it wasnt because of a rebalance i had just jumped to another system after a fight with no power problems got interdicted and nothing worked and no it hasnt happened because of interdiction before

I don't think that something was changed with Cobra. These were SCBs (these now drain more power from the power plant if the module is turned on, i.e. even if you are not using them to recharge the shields) and weapons heat generation that were rebalanced. But these changes affect not only Cobra but all other ships as well. Of course as you can install a more powerful equipment on a larger ships, they are less affected by these changes than the smaller ships.

i doubt because it was still using too much power after i returned to a station and repaired
Open the modules tab and check what is consuming power. How much power drain exceeds the power generated by the power plant?
I had quite a scare this morning where I logged in for the first time since the patch, deployed my weapons and everything shut down and I was put on emergency oxygen. After hurriedly retracting my weapons I took a look at my modules and saw that my FSD and cargo scoop had changed to priority 1 (I had them set at priority 3 before the patch). Why they suddenly changed priority I have no idea but I would urge everyone to take a look at their modules and make sure their priority settings haven't changed either.
