    Hey its actually easy...

    Just do a Search & Replace, marking the "old power" as the block you want to replace and then .... replace them with an empty slot!

    ....It's Brilliant... Realy, it is... Cmon... :ROFLMAO: ;) :rolleyes:

    PS (1): DO NOT FORGET TO USE REMOVE MODE on the outermost corner of the thing. (If the replace is active you would only remove the aforementioned marked blocks).

    PS (2): Ah yea, set the brush size for like 400 in each direction for this.

    PS (3): Check this out in my awesomely inspiring Photoshop skills:

    Also, don't forget that when you use the "Blocks" button in the blueprint catalog, it shows you the TOTAL number of any specific block type: the ones on the mother entity, plus the ones in docked entities.

    If you're dealing with a large ship, it will probably contain a lot old power reactors in certain docked entities too (in big turrets very likely, in docked fighters certainly). And the "Highlight blocks in dropdown" option of the Advanced Build Mode search function won't help to show where the power blocks of docked entities are, when used from within the core of the mother entity.

    You will have to use the middle mouse button to jump into those docked entities that are likely to contain power blocks, and run a search in each of them separately.

    And to make sure if you removed them all, you can blueprint your progress at any point, and re-check the block list in the blueprint catalog... Good luck :^D
