New page

== Power Management ==

The power management console is quite possibly the most important console in the game. If you have no engines power, you can't move. If you have no weapons power, you can't shoot. If you have no shields power, you will be blasted to pieces within seconds.

So, big responsibility. We've got that part over with. Now, how do we use this thing?

== ONE: Finding the power console. ==

The power console is located right in the back of the ship, on the C&C deck. It's hard to miss, look for the massive glowing shield core.
