From what I read on ship components, a reactor with extra, ie unused energy doesnt give you better performance. so far, so good. but why then have the privateer droid command "increase reactor energy"? what is is good for?

Other droid commands ie engine overload need large ammounts of power to run, EO4 needs 10x the normal RED of youre engine for example.

Saving mass.
When i start my krayt, i first have something like 17k energy use with 14k energy production... my ship by default switches off missile launcher and countermeasures right after start. Running reactor overload brings them back online.
Would i have to put in a reactor with 17k energy output, it would have 3 times the mass of my 14k reactor so the overload sure is worth it.
