Greetings, what happened when you tried to add an experimental to the power plant?Another question. I am unable to add an experimental to any of the power plants. Was going for Thermal Spread. Is this a glitch?
Nope, you can't add special effects to these PP, and technically this is not a glitch - FD announced several months ago that CG reward modules won't be able to accept special effects (excluding FSDs, but that's another story)Another question.

It's marked as "pre-engineered" in outfitting, and there is a note in description that it can't be modified.No mention for this one that they're not modifiable, so they should be able to take experimentals.
Even if we could apply Thermal Spread, they would still generate the same amount of heat as an engineered G5 overcharged with no Thermal Spread... so, yeah... mostly useless...Means that those PP are practically useless for some ships? (without possibility to add special to reduce heat down) ... heat efficiency worse as guardian variant. I will try 4A on my vulture (where already have guardian variant), and see if is usable at least on some ships.
Almost. The reward we got now was powerplants giving +60% power, but 0.54 heat modifier, whereas a G5 Overcharged A-rated powerplant would give +50% power with a 0.50 heat modifier. If we were allowed to put Thermal Spread (reduces heat modifier by 10%) on the reward-powerplants, that would lessen the heat modifier to 0.50 or less, depending on how the calculations are run. So with Thermal Spread the powerplants would be somewhat better than the plain old overcharged ones.Even if we could apply Thermal Spread, they would still generate the same amount of heat as an engineered G5 overcharged with no Thermal Spread... so, yeah... mostly useless...
