Please explain the different electricity mods

Well, I now have two wee updates that I'd like to share (assuming the original mod authors get back to me). I edited all of the Kosmos panels so that they produce energy (using SolarPanels_adv_PowerTech). I mean, those are really nice panels, and I wanted to stick some on my DSM ship and have them actually power the ion engines. So, that's done. I based their power values on area, assuming that the panel included in MMI Satellite pack has a value of 1, for reference. (It doesn't make any sense to tweak these values higher or lower until the tech tree and cost is implemented, so for now, things can be strictly based on area.) I experimented with using PowerTech's heat and heat dissipation to make Kosmos' radiators have a functional purpose, but they and the panels just tended to explode...looking into that.

Then I changed the small ion engine, external battery, and panels from MMI.S to use the same module and Kreuz's EEP instead of MuMech, and drastically reduced the capacity of the batteries. (1000, really? When the only thing you have to suck energy from it is a little engine?) They're now at 200, which also makes them comparable in size/energy ratio to the battery from the DSM mod...I think. I didn't really look all that closely.

Reading MMI and KOSMOS here all the time, I can tell you that I'm working on that. I already balanced the new MMI parts (the solar panels still have to be configured), and if I don't forget it I'll ask cBBp the next time we chat, I am supporting KOSMOS so I do have access to these files.
