Is starmadepedia still accurate in saying that producing more than 1 million e/sec on a single entity is past the point of diminishing returns?
What's the most efficient arrangement to produce very large amounts of energy? I'm looking at a titan-scale warp gate.
(From my quick research, this beast is one of the heaviest ships on the dock, and would take 26 billion energy to gate. Give a healthy margin and call it 50,000,000,000 e. By the formula on starmadepedia, that takes 21.5 million power capacitors (single group) to store that much energy. So I'm looking for a solution that doesn't take hours to spin up the gate.)
(EDIT: I always use default settings for engineering because I figure it's the best policy if I decide to post something. There's too many ways to balance a server, so I figure each player should be aware of how things change on their server.)
