So the weapons information screen is 100% wrong, doesn't give anywhere near accurate numbers for energy consumption or damage dealt.
Basically, here's my problem, I have a missile system with 734 blocks, attached to a damage pulse slave with 734 blocks, and an overdrive effect with 734 blocks. The damage info screen said I needed about 13 million energy to fire the weapon, I have 41 million capacity which was not enough to fire the missile system.
I took off the entire Overdrive effect system, leaving only the Missile master and Damage Pulse slave, the "apparent" energy requirement went down to just below 11 million to fire the weapon. The missile did now fire, but used up about 97% of my total energy capacity - almost 41 million.
Now I replaced the removed Overdrive effect with an Explosive effect, totalling 734 block (100% effect), to the system, making it a complete master/slave/effect again. Now I fired the missile with the Explosive effect attached and it uses up 0 energy - yes that's right, zero energy. My energy bar doesn't even move when firing it.
I am now unbelievably confused as to how the math works between all these systems interacting with each other. Also have no idea where the game is pulling the numbers from that it displays on the weapon information screen. Someone please help? D:
