I still think about, how much power do the systems now need?
The old power-system is:
power reactors give maybe 2million power recharge
power auxillary can give 2million power recharge for every group
So there is an maybe easy way to gain enough power for your factory with 100,000 enhancers, which costs alot of power.
The power reactors have an exponetially increase of power regen, the power auxillary have also an exponetially increase per group.
With the new System all power regen has an linear increase.
The biggest advantage for the old system is the fact of no need for physically connections between power reactors or different groups of power auxillary, so you are able to deploy the systems on each corner of the entity like alot of separatly "reactors" that bring up the whole power together. With this system you also are able to avoid big filled areas.
With the new System you have to build one big reactor to gain the same power, so your entity is restricted by the space for the needed reactor and there would be a big filled area. If your reactor generate 100% power through the stablizers, there is no way to gain more power for your systems, like with power auxillary.
Because of this I would have the choice between using one big reactor, which generate the needed power and using a bunch of small reactors generating the same power together. Instead of shutting down reactors, we could shut down specific chambers, to have the TP free for other chambers.
And a question, does the needed amount of TP for a chamber depend on the size of the chamber, or the size of the ship? A bigger ship also needs more power, so also a bigger reactor. You wrote, the efficiency of chambers depends on the reactor/chamber size ratio. So a bigger ship also needs bigger chambers. But you wrote the amount of TP, that can be used is fix and don't depends on ship size or reactor size. When is a chamber fully filled with TP?`Is the amount of needed TP for one chamber also fix as the whole amount of TP that can be used?
And please don't term them TechPoints. That sounds awful.
