Power generation: Difference between revisions
Explained reactor output scaling. Expanded explanation of fuel tank and battery benefits. Removed references to generator as it isn't available. Removed section touting fusion as more power efficient, since its only really space efficient and that is explained adequately in the table and on the fusion reactor page. |

If a ship with a reactor-based power system runs out of fuel, the ship is effectively dead in space, unable to produce power to run the [[FTL Drive|FTL drive]]. [[Solar Panel| | If a ship with a reactor-based power system runs out of fuel, the ship is effectively dead in space, unable to produce power to run the [[FTL Drive|FTL drive]]. [[Solar Panel|Solar panel]]s, or a single solar panel that charges a [[battery]], can provide backup power in this situation. | ||
