Hello,

I am puzzeld about the question of how much energy i need to run Engine Overload 4 Weapon Overload 4 and Cappacitor Overload 4?

Currentlyi have the following in my Tie-Adv

Engine with 1519,7 Energy Drain

Shield with 2013,7 Energy

Capacitor with 740,8 Energy

Interface with 507

Weapon1 with 2402,5

Weapon2 with 2402,5

Resulting in 9586 Energy Drain. My Reaktor provides 14417 Energy. So there is plenty of spare Energy.

Even if i calculate 40% more Energy due to the Programs i wish to run thisReaktor should be abel to handle it. But even if i run Reaktor Overload 4! i am not abel to run them. After Engine Overload 4 and Weapon Overload4 one of myWeapons will be shut down due to Energy shortage.

So what Monster should i build to handel that? Thanks

i have been told that 4's are bugged so i use 3's i have a 13.5k reactor needing 17k and everything runs smoothly once i use reactor overload 3.

I think they are bugged. What puzzeld me also is the fact that i can run Engine Overload 4 and get the extra speed and better handling. But i can not run both. Even if I run Cappacitor Overload 4 with Engine Overload 4 everything is fine. I think that only Weapon Overload 4 needs more Energy then we can think of. Well maybe there will be a bugfix. I would like it to fly my Tie-Adv with REt Tech 6 Weapons to free up some Mass. We will see

Engine overload 4 multiplies the energy drain of your engine 10x. So that by itself is going to give use 15k energy, which would still be under your reactor generation if you also use Reactor overload 4 (which gives 14417 * 140% = 20k). I'm not sure what the energy requirement increase is with weapon overload 4, but with an overloaded engine, you're close to the max (even with reactor overload), so it looks like you're stuck with one or the other. Or you can use the lower-level engine/weapon overloads.

I run reactor overload 4, engine overload 4, weapon overload 3(weapon overload 4 draws too much power), capacitor overload 4 and use cap to shield shunt 4 as necessary to recharge shields. I think your problem is with weapon overload 4, get rid of that and go with weapon overload 3. Your ship should perform much better then.

I run wep 4 and cap 4 just barely with a 15.9k generator. I can't use ordanance, CM's, or any kind of engine overload, and witha single lev 8 RE'd cannon, but its just as effective and better for meto do Wep overload 3 with three RE'd cannons, and I still can overload engine and use other systems.

Yeah that´s what i do. Engine 4, Weapon 3 and Cappa 4 alongside with Reaktor 4. But it´s strange that even if you use this kind of stuff you can do it with a normal sized Reaktor.

So for me it should be that Engine 4 needs Reaktor 4. If you use another Overcharger than either a better Reaktor should be build in or you wouldn´t have enough energy. The real Problem is to see the exact numbers the affected components use after Overloading Overcharging. With that you could either build a new reaktor to fit these numbers or reduce Energymaint to this level.

I never checked what will happen if i build in some smaller guns or another engine.

Has anybody ever managed to run all 4er? And if yes, please give us your numbers. Maybe Weapon Overload 4 needs at least 500% more energy?

You can even run Engine 3 Weapon 3 Cappa 4 and Reaktor 3 to fit everything. That´s the strangest thing. So maybe Energylevel jumps way up for 4 or this Programs are bugged.
