' Wrote:That's because there's this pause before it starts to regenerate. Otherwise it's like any other situation where you have exhausted your power by shooting and need to wait for it to regenerate.

It takes roughly twenty seconds to fully regenerate the energy on most transports. Most transports will deplete their energy supply within the same amount of time by firing. Unless you're sticking to new york with level 2 rogue NPC's, you're going to get your ass handed to you on a silver platter if you cant do anything for 20 seconds.

Not the point.

The point is that we want power for our transports.

again, the idiot posts. Ever tried thrusting away from a swarm of NPC's? I'll let you in on a little tip: They're faster than you are, unless you happen to do your trading in a camera ship.

yes I have thrusted from NPCs, and yes they can still catch you. But it's certainly a LOT easier to dodge them with thrusters than without, and you also have bots/bats, and you are, stated before, only waiting 20 seconds. It took longer than 20 seconds for you to read thispost.

Its not an idiot post. you can run from a swarm of NPC's or you can fight them. I don't know, I was just in sigma with Kishiro whale, those Corsair npcs are nasty, but not nasty enough. they dont shoot the lane behind you. so you can go back.

sine it is clear not everyone putting their 2 cents in here knows whats going on, this is footage of the change

as you can see, your cruise drops your energy, not your shield. It's pretty much harmless unless your strategy is to cruise right onto someone (like 500 from em), say "firing" and kill them.

I’ll carry this flag
To the grave if I must
Because it’s flag that I love
And a flag that I trust
