Power flow though docks...

I can no longer stand by anything I've said in this thread :DD

I find that partially powered turrets work ok but only for weapons where the reload is longer then the one second power outage delay. I have a silly b-b-o fighter turret that pulls 600k power from 12 entities each with 19 p-gens.

Thanks Todd!
I know why it didn't work for me now, but it's too embarrassingly silly to share...

So, to summarise again, to the best of my understanding:

• Stored energy passes from rail to docker to allow weapons to fire if needed.
• Power passes from rail to docker to recharge shields
• Thrusters have their own unique system: if they're pooled together they're powered from the base/"mother" entity only
• Power capacitors cannot draw power from any entity except their own

All remaining secondary systems I don't know any specifics for, but it would be great if people who do could inform the rest of us.

Cloaking
Jammers
Salvage - presumably the same as weapons
Jump Inhibitors
Scanners
Push/Pull - considered a weapon I assume
Mass enhancers
etc...
