I saw and bought a few Engine Overload 4 chips off of a vendor andloaded them into mylvl 5astromech. When I went to make a test flight in my JSF and activated the droid program the ship accelerated to a much higher speed, but then as soon as max speed was reached the engine speed fell back to only 90% of it's original max speed and my weapon capacitor energy was reduced to zero and would not recharge, on top of that whenI tried to use another droid program I received a report that my droid interface was disabled.
I landed at an SP to check and repair my stuff, only to find that the ship management terminal said there was nothing wrong with the parts? More than a little confused I re-launched to re-check my parts but the Cap and Droid interface were still pooched.
I landed again and decided to go and buy some more parts to do some testing....loaded all the new parts and took off. I repeated the original test and the same thing happened....and on top of that the 3 spare capacitors I had bought, that were in my inventory had also been disabled???????
Is this a known bug or something new?...anyone else had the same thing happen
I am kinda confused and a little annoyed (this "effect" ate my best capacitor and droid interface)
any advice would be helpful

Your engine Overload 4 is drawing too much power from your reactor and thus can't recharge your capacitor. You either need a program chip that overloads your reactor as well or a reactor with higher energy output.

Engine Overload 4 uses 10 times the energy of the listed Engine Reactor Drain.
You'll probably need to run with a higher output reactor AND a Reactor Overload.
To reset the disabled components do ONE of the following:
1. Remove the components off your ship and redeed it.
2. Run ethrust special to reset power setting and droid commands. (This is the easier way.)
