Overcharging weapons?

<< < (3/4) > >>

Aenigma:
Well, i don't know actually. The only thing i can think of is that when you look at the energy distribution the power is already distributed to the shields and the disruptors. The red line means full overload and the green one means normal power. So i think they are already up to red, and then you indeed can't give them more power.

3dot14:
interesting. can you describe the ship loadout in more detail?

One thing: level 4 disruptors are the MOST POWERFUL (and more power consuming) weapon. not the weakest.

Firestorm:
My guess is maybe difference in Officers levels, maybe

SPQR Raven:
    I have never seen that, however I have noticed that if I have a lot of IVF disruptors and only one heavy, the dumb computer puts the one torp up to max and leaves the disruptors short about 10-20%. This may be a bug? Logically, the computer should attempt to bring all energy levels to minimum (standard) and then put extra in shields until it is needed for overloading weapon sat  the captains disgretion?  

jimmythehat:
As far as I know, it goes like this
Overcharging weapons to 200% [the red line] lets your weapons do 150% damage
Overcharging sheilds only speeds up their repair.
There's a better post about this on the old forum... i'm too lazy to look for it, but it's not too hard to find... i think

As for not having an extra power bar, it seems that all of the extra power is evenly distributed amongst your various weapons and sheilds.
hope that helps.
