9283 - tanks useless, shields still drain too much, turrets aren't any smarter

[HatBuster]

Power tanks don't do anything anymore. No matter how you add them, the load stays at 20k.



Shields still drain 2k E/s. Instead of 1k E/s.

(Did some testing and shields will require at LEAST 5x the load capacity, provided their energy drain will eventually actually go down to 1k/ E/s. Currently, even the tiniest fighter can take out any shield.)



Turrets still fire through the mothership.

Same here. Even if my ship\'s generator makes 3 530 745 e/sec, it\'s nothing if power cap is 20k

I have posted something about powertanks here. Why are you opening two posts about the same thing, HatBuster?

 

[Awesomest]

Power tanks aren\'t useless, they scale exponentially upwards. On small ships they\'re pretty useless, but if you have a couple hundred you\'ll see massive energy maximums.

The best way to use tanks is by puting them in groups of one. They are extremely effective. I currently have 700million energy load and my ship is not even halfway done.
