Newcomer / Intro power problem with the corsair

[Eric Palmer]

I built and modded a corsair. I should have plenty of power, armored/monstered mods, but the boost function on second boost locks/freezes the ship up. a7 distro with mods can't keep up with the power usage. The only thing I have left to do is super conduits on the distro. I have checked the auto low power shut down 1-5 and they seem to be in the right sequence. Has anybody else had a power issue with the corsair?
o7 all!

this is confusing, do you have screenshots or a video to clarify? and a build link? (inara/edsy/coriolis)
distributor usage is not the same as plant usage, and boosting cannot turn modules off

 

[Helmut Grokenberger]

if the ship locks up in the sense that it goes only straight and takes no input from you: You're probably blacking out when doing a boost turn. I've had that happen in the Corsair. Watch for the screen edges getting dark when that happens. Apart from that: Put up an EDSY link for your build.

Not seen this with my Corsair running a 7A G1 Low Emissions + Thermal Spread power pack, all essential modules in the 40% region.
Distro 7A G5 Weapon focussed + Cluster Capacitors.

Is this while pitching? Thats a blackout and will hold the ship for a few seconds. Its a "too many G" problem not a power one, either pitch slower or use FA off / lateral thrusters

As above, 100% blackout. However it can occur so quickly the blackout effects do not appear. This occurs to the python mk II under rare conditions as well.

This is while pitching, when spinning to retarget. It stops input and will hold the ship for a few seconds. I'm used to flying a phantom which is a little quicker and so far a better ship for combat. Helmut, DracoNB and Kofeyh Have found the problem. I'm not sure how to avoid the problem, I find flight assist off to be a pain, maybe smaller thrusters will avoid the problem altogether. I will post if I find the answer. Thanks for the help. o7
