Gunboats balance

[Generation]

I like my Dragon Gunboat's power supply its perfect for my set up. I think you would be surprised at how quickly a gunboat can run out of juice. My set up chews threw power, its quiet well balanced. I have to converse my fire, do I want to utilizes the main gun and the hell out of something, do I want to launch missiles or do I want to pound them with two cerbs and a couple of GB defense turrets.
I can mix and match my firing if I want but I all ways need to watch that power gauge specially when I em using missles AND cerbs.

I'll go in game now and work out the energy usage.


<edit>ok I have just experimented a little.

Firing the main gun drops a reasonable amount of power but at its refire rate the energy recharges to full before I can launch the next shot.

My load out of 2 cerbs and 2 Gunboat defense turrets chews threw the energy at a slower rate then I originally thought, I can put of a fair few shots. My biggest energy users are the 2 Dragonfly missile turrets, they chew threw the juice at a reasonable rate.

However when I use these in conjunction the power still disappears fast;
My primary combat method is the turrets and when I use the cerbs, GB DT's and DF MT's the power drops a lot. This is mostly due to the MT's, they drop a fare amount of power and if I don't let it recharge then I generally run out of power after 3 consecutive launches.

I think the power plant should be left alone, but increase the time it takes to recharge.
