I just read a msg that stated a reactor in the red just a little is not a problem. My ? when does it become a prob?

When Sony and Lucas set out, we said, 'How can we do this and not make another EQ?' We didn't want it to be all about Luke, or combat, or lock our players into a class.So we created a system that would allow players to switch professions during the game, and there would be a lot of gameplay around making that change.If you want to go from architect to scout we've created a system to make that happen."

Anyone?

you must have read my post on another thread

I dont know the exact number, but when it starts effecting yoursystems, just reactor overload 1, or whatever program is necessary

So if im understanding this right. there is np with a reactor in the red as long as your not using overload programs. or the systems will be affected if you push it too high in the red regardless?

It's only a problem if you overstress the reactor by activating too many systems at once. For example, say you have 15000 out of 11000 reactor energy. We'll ignore the droid interface in this. If you can fly normally with nothing happening then you aren't using all of your reactor's energy. If you can fire and fly, still good. By this point, any booster, chaff or missile you activate will probably cause a reactor overload. Your ship will shut down and the fighters you happen to be shooting will "pwn j00" so to speak.

I'll never understand that weird number/text speak. Just seems weird to me.
