I'm the kinda guy that doesn't leave home without Running, Reactor Overload 4, then Engine Overload 4, then Weapon Overload 4, then Capacitor Overlaod 4. I have consistently had this work with every ship I have put togather. I used to think it was all about the Excess Output, but then found out that thats not the only thing. The Weapon Overload 4 Commands will not work with any rreactor under Mark IV. I put a Mark III Reactor withOutput of 15.6k and only 4k used energy and it still made the guns drain in 6 shots. Then put a Mark IV Reactor with 15.6k and it all worked fine. So I just started putting the Player made 16.9 k output reactors with 19k mass on everyship I fly.
However.....
I finally got myHeavy Tie Variant, so people can't complain about using JSF, and the Opressor with 3 IR II's is getting Boring. I have 5k more mass then my JFS so I just transfered all the equipment over to the TIE. Exact sameEquipment where I was running all the lvl 4droid commands as stated in the first sentence. When I got up, engine overload 4 worked fine, 1650 somthing speed with 120 spd engine, good to go, now I hit the Weapon Overload 4 and I here the Whine of the Gun and IR II launcher going out. I checked, and couldn't Fire the missiles, and My guns drained in 6 shots.
So the Lvl of the Chassis must have something to do with being able to run commands.
I dropped everything off except for the gun to test it. I only had 6k Enrgy Consumption and 16.9k output from reactor....thats 10,000 in excess. I got up ran Reactor Overload 4, and without doing engine overlaod 4, I hit the Weapon Overlaod 4, and the Weapon drained the Cap in 6 shots just like before. Put everything back into all my other ships and everything worked like a charm, every time. But Never Once have I got Weapon Overload 4 to work on the TIE Heavy.
This same problem occured with my friends Vakasi Ship.

Were you using different guns with different Reactor Energy Drains? WO4 requires a significant amount of juice - I'd have to check the pilot FAQ but it's something like 10x the power. So if you have one gun with an RED around 1500 and one that's 2400, the 2400 is going to require significantly more reactor juice.
I've never noticed any chassis specific power constraints.

Yes, I used the same exact gun. None of the equipment was changed when I moved it from the JSF to the TIE heavy. It worked on the JSF and didn't on the TIE Heavy.
