"Powerplant capacity exceeded" -everything still works and the usage is on 99%

Is this an intended feature?

It's not a major issue, per say, it's just very irritating to listen to every time I deploy my hardpoints.
 
Does heat require power to dissipate? I haven't played for a couple of weeks but I think I remember something along these lines.
 
No, that's just trying to circumvent it- which in this case won't help regardless, as I already have the best powerplant and am keeping the cargo hatch off at all times since I never use it.
 
You will never use your fsd with weapons deployed. Give it a low priority so that when you deploy it is the thing that gets turned off.
 
Give lower priority to FSD, Interdiction or even a shieldbooster (for more shields with weapons retracted).

I have 111% total power usage on my Vulture, but effectively I have just under 100% as certain modules turn off when deploying hardpoints.

If the sound notification bothers you, you can disable it in the audio options. I did, because I always exceed power with my Vulture and it gets irritating pretty quickly, it's the only notification I've disabled.
