whats your power usage,,,,, ? looks high ....

it is.

No cargo, so Cargo hatch is OFF, and in case it does fire up, it's set to Priority 5
Frameshift and Fuel scoop are Priority 4
Sensors are the next lower priority , and when sensors go down, I know I have a power issue (i.e. damaged modules).
All else are Priority 1.

Of course, I'm just passing on the wisdom handed down to me from others - and that wisdom appears to be holding up.

All told, total energy usage should be 17.41, exceeding my 15.6 cap by 1.81
But when hardpoints deployed and Cargo Hold OFF, fuel scoop and frameshift also disable... power usage drops to 15.87, I think just over 102% to 103% over capacity.

I can run these specs in battle and have yet to run into a problem.

Yeah is tight and if I'm not careful, things could go bad... but hopefully once Sensors go down, I'll know it's time to ditch the battle.
(Hmm , may even bump Life Support to P2.. a sure sign if LS goes out <and really for any reason>, it's time to retract the hardpoints and get the shizz out of dodge.)

Yes I have made about the same from my Vulture.
Interesting that you don't have a repair module. I kind of like having that handy just in case something crucial gets trashed in the heat of battle.
It way exceeds the power limits on the vulture, but it shuts down when I deploy the weapons.

I find that Class 3 Pulse lasers are the best. They have the best overall balance against shields and hull.

Switch to pulses, you'll save on much needed power. And ditch that hull reinforcement, it just weights you down, specially if you are not packing A5 thrusters.

Thanks for you input and please keep it coming.
Obviously still a noob here, and I need your guidance to squeeze as much fun of this game as I can :D

(+1 to all you 'hello' people for playing the game! )
