Constant_power_draw

Ursus

I’m looking for a way to have some types of equipment draw constant power from the power plant. For example, a very-long-range scanner, or a special kind of weapon, etc. constant_power_draw provides this function for shields, but does not seem to work on the other types. Has anybody gotten this working, or is there another option I should be looking at?

I already checked adoxa’s plugins

Gravedig if someone needed (Someone asked at other forums - thats why).
Must work only for active (activated) equipment: Scanner, Cloak.
power_usage =
power_usage = <negative number=“”>seems to be powerup.

Intresting feature for Cloak - when we under it - weapons are offline, right?
Then weapons energy, dirty saying, we may redirect to cruise for example, if it eats power.</negative>

If something should effect power, it should be listed in the ship’s
“shield_link = ….” entry in shiparch.ini.

The additional things I wanted to have positive or negative
power draw are defined as shields anyway.

Didn’t try this for weapon hardpoints.

Intresting. Will take a note!
