snub powercores

[Ursus]

So essentially, what are you talking about?

I should not have said indefinite, although it's practically the same. Anything approaching or exceeding 20 seconds of holding down the button is basically the same thing when you're running somebody down.

There is also the point that Class-10 are available to VHF but not available to HF, and those are more effecient. You can absolutely make a setup there that lets you hold the button down forever. I've done it, don't recall the mix exactly but I know it's possible.

I'm sure there are examples good and bad (like the Black Widow) but that is a corner case, and I am trying to talk about the general issue here. The point I am struggling to make is that the primary offensive advantage of being able to run down an enemy ship is made moot by the inability to sustain fire on the target.

However now that I've thought about it a little more, it may be that the core problem is with the energy consumption of the weapons. Maybe access to clsass-10 is the real advantage, rather than the powercore size. If so then it becomes much harder to give HF the ability to run down the target.
