The shield system regulates your max shield and shield regen rate
*"Hangar console" page fix construct/salvage table so that each cell has the same size so the 2 tables align properly

=Capacitors=
|Width=150px; Height=;|Name
Your Battlecruiser has 2 capacitors, the energy capacitor (Ecap) and weapons capacitor (Wcap).
|Width=50px; Height=;"|[[File:Veldite.jpg|frameless|20px|link=Veldite]] (ENERGY ICON)
The capacitors are like rechargeable batteries that can be filled with energy.
|Width=50px; Height=;"|CD (TIME ICON)
Both capacitors have a maximum capacity of 100,000 GJ.
|Width=300px; Height=;"|Description
If any capacitor fills completely then any power directed to them will be lost and wasted.
|-
If both capacitors are completely drained of all energy then all your systems will shut down (be set to 0).


==Energy Capacitor==
|http://i.imgur.com/uj73cxR.jpg
Excess energy not being consumed by the Battlecruiser systems will automatically be stored in the energy capacitor.
|[[Accelerate Mining Beam]]
<br>If the energy capacitor reaches 0, all stored power in the weapon capacitor is instantly drained into the energy capacitor.
|150
<br>Having large deposits of energy in the energy capacitor allows you to overload your Battlecruisers systems in time of need.
|35
|Accelerates mining speed drastically for 15seconds
|-


==Weapons Capacitor==
|http://i.imgur.com/NNoKnKw.jpg
Any power directed to the weapons system will be automatically stored in the weapons capacitor.
|[[Turbo Jump]]
<br>If the weapons capacitor reaches 0, all the Battlecrusiers weapons (except missiles) will be disabled.
|250
<br>Stockpiling energy in the weapons capacitor allows you to continue firing the battlecruisers weapons even if there is no power directed towards the weapons system. As you fire the weapons the energy will be taken from reserves of the weapons capacitor until it is completely drained and needs to be refilled.
|45
|Initiates short range speed jump.
|-


=Power Setup/Power Configuration=
|http://i.imgur.com/hRGsmeP.jpg
Power (energy/sec) into a Battlecruiser system is regulated by using the increase/decrease power abilities on the energy console.
|[[Scanner Sweep]]
<br>These abilities let you change the power into a Battlecruiser system by units of +/- 5 GJ/Sec.
|0
<br>Your power setup is the 3 numbers you set your Battlecruiser systems to, these numbers determines the flow of energy to the corresponding system.
|40
<br>The numbers are displayed in order of the systems; weapons, shields then engines.
|Reveals mineral types inside asteroids.
*Eg. If "100 50 100" is your power setup, you have, 100 energy/sec to the weapons systems, 50 energy/sec to shield and 100 energy/sec to engines
|-
<br>Whenever you increase power to a system, you increase the drain on the energy capacitor.


*note: In situations where multiple Battlecruiser systems need their power changed, never change the levels one system at a time. Change at least 2 systems at a time (use the hotkeys) and use your mouse to activate shield boost as required.
|http://i.imgur.com/6UxDdMJ.jpg
|[[Mine Asteroid]]
|0
|0
|Mines minerals out of asteroid.
|-


=Power Gain/Drain, Power Management=
|http://i.imgur.com/mWGPQuF.jpg
The Battlecruiser core along with all docked small ships cores produces energy every second.
|[[Return Minerals]]
This produced power is stored inside the Battlecruiser energy capacitor.
|0
Every second the stored energy from the energy capacitor is drained into the Battlecruiser systems based on your power setup.
|45
If the total power produced is greater than the power drain to your systems, the energy capacitor will start to fill; storing the excess produced energy. If the drain however is higher the capacitor will start to drain its stored energy reserves.
|Unloads Miners inventory into a Cargo Drone.
Energy flowing to the shield and engine systems is consumed instantly.
|-
Thus not moving the Battlecruiser while you have engine power; or maintaining unnecessarily high shield  levels is all wasted energy that could otherwise be used to fill a capacitor.
Energy flowing to the weapons systems is different. Energy flowing to the weapons system is stored first in the weapons capacitor before being used.
Firing weapons unnecessarily though still drains your weapons capacitor and is also a waste of power.


*note: as mentioned docked small ships cores add to the power production of the bc a stratergy that uses this fact; [[power deck]].

=Common Power Configurations=
== Early Game Power ==
Most experienced teams will have their captain adjust the initial power settings of their [[Battlecruiser]] - 20GW/s in weapons, 20GW/s in shields, 100GW/s in engines - at the very start of the game, since supplying power to engines is only necessary if there is an intent to move the [[Battlecruiser]] itself. This allows more energy to be stored into the ship's capacitor such that it can be drawn upon in a time of need, such as to repel a rush or to fire at a nearby harassing [[wraith]]. If the team holds an interest in [[Chomper|chomping]], it may serve to put some power into engines so the [[Battlecruiser]] can move with the bulky, slow mining ship.


== Power in Combat ==
|a
Likely the most important role during a fight, the power console is responsible for keeping shields up in a fight, providing engines for positioning if required, and making sure the weapons console has sufficient energy to fire at the opposing team throughout the entire engagement. On top of this, enemy [[Missiles]] or [[Yamato Cannon]]s may also fluctuate your core stability, which could call for attention before it sinks to a dangerously low value.
