notfruit Posted September 28, 2013 Share Posted September 28, 2013 Maybe we could route batteries to certain things (like torque or life support) and prioritize how much electricity those things receive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boomerdog2000 Posted September 28, 2013 Share Posted September 28, 2013 Presumably they would take the amount they needed to operate... which they do already. So what are you suggesting? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superfluous J Posted September 28, 2013 Share Posted September 28, 2013 (edited) I think the idea is, don't keep my station oriented in the same direction if the batteries are gonna run out and kill the crew. I assume this is not in the vanilla game (where crew are essentially immortal unless they hit something really hard).I know it annoys me when my electromagnets suddenly stop working during an eclipse.

notfruit Posted September 28, 2013 Author Share Posted September 28, 2013 Sorry, I didn't have much time to explain because I was getting ready to test a heavy lifter I built, but now I do. Basically, you have limited power on your ship because you forgot solar panels again and you need to prioritize. You have maybe 3 batteries for regular operation and one backup battery. The normal ones would power everything and then once they run out the systems fall back to the backup where only things like life support or torque are on. there'd be this drag thing where you link things that use power to batteries and they can have multiple links.

Supernovy Posted September 28, 2013 Share Posted September 28, 2013 I'd like to see some sort of "reserve power", or at least the ability to unlock electricity flow from batteries while the electric charge has run out.Unfortunately though, "Better Electricity Management" is on the What not to suggest list. Hopefully we can get better electricity management soon.But since this is on the what not to suggest list, thread locked. Have a nice day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
