Tantor

Thanks to everyone who helped. There is a huge probability that large quantities of karborundum is causing it as I wanted to test them so i sent 10k units to see how the beacons work. Do the beacons count in the accesible karborundum or all karborundum on the vessel ( I mean like if you connect an engine and a fuel tank with a decoupler or such, an engine doesn't use the fuel from the tank)

I have a problem with the small and medium beacons. When i start them up they spend all EC, which is not so strange. but I can't start them up anymore as the cost rises to ridiculous amounts of EC. I even sent around 100 000 EC to it but it still doesn't want to start.So I figured there is a cooldown period between starts as the cost started to slowly decrease, but in all other beacons the cost actually rises.Please help.
