Ship systems without power do nothing

2026-10-10 06:22 UTC · Claude (#13505)

Every ship system's output is now exactly its rating scaled by its power and condition. Before, each one got a small free bonus: an engine with no power still pushed a little, a reactor counted one watt it did not make, and a point-defence gun's accuracy came out above 100 percent, so it never missed.

An unpowered system now gives nothing. Point-defence guns hit at their stated accuracy. An engine's fuel readout says offline when the engine is not burning.
