Hi.
ok so heres my situation. i was talking to someone last night they said they have a 14k reactor and run engine OL 4 no problem with it (i persume with reactor OL4)
so i try and get away from my lvl 3 overloads and try lvl 4
my reactor is 11963/14680 i launch hit reactor OL 4 then engine OL 4
the engine overload works great but knocks everything else out, no guns capacitor droid nothing. Anyone help?
not even a knight anymore

kinda got there in the end, had to drop from a 2240 hitpoint shield to 1850 to reduce mass so i could equip a 16k reactor, managed to get a misile launcher on it too.

You don't have to redeed...just use a command like ethrust to reset droid commands.
You might try looking into lower energy drain capacitor.
To run a 2400 energy energy engine with EO4 you need to run at least a 16K reactor with RO4.
Energy output with RO4: 16K * 1.9 = 30.4K
Energy usage with EO4: 2.4k * 10 = 24.0K
Energy remaining for rest of your parts 6.4K
Since WO3 is bugged (reduces energy drain instead of increasing it) most pilots take advantage of this by also running is.
Order of activation: RO4, WO3, EO4, then the rest of the commands...you ship should run fine...till they fix WO3 of course.

You REALLY need to get that drain down on your engine if you can. A good RE job would likely do wonders.

To fix that, you'll have to remove all your components and redeed the ship (costs nothing). If an overload disables the droid interface you're screwed and have to redeed; this has happened to me several times while trying to work out an optimal setup.
If you've got missiles and countermeasures, try leaving them out until you figure out how much extra power you have.
