It is not a bug. once you launch up into space it will fix itself out. i beleave this was made to fix exploites

They will indeed recharge to full after launch. Nothing to worry about.

Ok, noob question (please dont use acronyms in the answer, I'm very new to piloting):

Some of my components seem to have lost energy upon loading them into my ship.

I am flying a dunelizard for Smugglers Alliance. The three components are:

1. Shields. I bought new shields from a vendor, the hitpoints read max. I put them in my ship they now read 'Front/back shield hitpoints 900/1200.

2. Capacitator. I bought a new capacitator from a vendor, its energy was max. I put it in my ship and now it read n/N, where n was less than N.

3. Booster. Same again, bought new one was fine. Put inot my ship, it read, n/N, where n was less then N.

Why do these components not show full energy?

Thanks,

Ato

The n/N values you refer to are n = current amount of energy stored and N = maximum amount of energy it can store without running any overload programs (more on those later)

For example, your front and back shield's hitpoints were 900/1200. This means that it currently has 900 units of shield energy, and it can store a maximum of 1200. In other words, it's 75% full.

This happens on the three items you listed, which are the only items to have consumable energy.

They each also have a 'recharge' value. This is how many points per second the component will be able to put in the reservoir.

The capacitor gets a helping hand, however. It can be overloaded, which means it can store extra energy, and it gets a boost to it's regeneration rate.

Shields can also be affected, using programs that rebel and privateer pilots can learn. There are good posts on droid programs and chips, so I won't go in to that here.

Having re-read your original question, I realise that you asked something completely different lol

Vendors can be kinda quirky - I think SWG's got some bugs
