I'm having the same problem as this guy I think, the warp drive just doesn't work for me, neither can i seem to get the reactors to work, i think i might be being stupid or possibly bug.
pretty sure the install is clean, it loads and seems to run fine, apart from this issue (that i know of)
Ive got reactor, converter, rads, control module and batteries on a test vessel, tried in multiple set ups. . think im fuelling the generators properly.
the same thing happens where the charge (aka Exotic Substance i think ) goes flying up to 100 then vanishes and the reserves are depleted.
then i get "not enough elec for stable warp field" or something.
so maybe reactors are working, i dont know im confused....
can someone let me know a little warp drive set up i could mock up to test if i'm doing it wrong or the game is being glitchy?
or plonk me a craft file or something?
of if there's a fix for this point me in the direction?
iv'e spent ages looking for something, so anything would help.
Cheers.
