"Uncontrolled reactor overload spike detected. SCRAMMING REACTOR!"
I've gotten 3 of these in a row on activating emergency shields on my X-Wing. I tried once more when not in combat, and it worked fine.
I have NEVER had this happen before, is something screwy, or is it just bad luck?

Your reactor is not generating enough power for your overload, you need a stronger reactor or you need to overload it before executing shields commands.

pilot commands doesn't make components use more power when activated.
The only point is that sometimes, you will "fail" the execution of your command....
This text is just here to tell you that.
Gain more skills in pilot tactics to avoid this annoyance ^^
(i used to have it everytime i tried to use emergency trust.... and when you have to use it, it's an emergency and you DON'T want to stand still in space waiting for your reactor to restart ^^)
So i will tell : bad luck... pretty bad one ^^
Like bad luck though.... Murphy's law : it's when you need something that it's brocken
