Early on capacitor

[fading surge]

With my question here: #ask-walt message,
I've had an idea for a completely new sort of ship:

A ship powered by a capacitor with extremely much storage for power, which can be filled at the nearest station for free. It will be cheaper than a small reactor and would change the early game since you have more starting capital, but you need to fill your batteries. (And fr how should a "no one" have a nuclear reactor in his lil spaceship???)
I think the step going from a, let's call it 'energy reservoir' to a nuclear reactor would also feel more rewarding.

"BuT ScHuKoP It'S nOt BaLaNcEd In LaTe GaMe!"
It is because you can only have one of both. If you have an energy reservoir, you can't have a nuclear reactor and reverse.

Good idea? I doubt it!

i feel like mainly pvp players would call this op lol
the issue with this is that your ship slowly looses energy for existing.. so maybe it should come with a small dynamo like in the small thruster so its able to sustain only a couple control room's worth of power?

instant no for the part limit, no other part has this

So? Why not introducing something new?

[fading surge]

Yeah good point. The thing with dynamo is that you can just turn up speed for 5 seconds and boom your capacitor is full

Then there is no need for the station anymore and it's more like a mini nuclear reactor

[jolly geyser]

because it makes no sense and to justify it for "balance" is a terrible excuse

[devout scarab]

maybe if you turned everything on your ship off
i dont think this is really a bad thing because it makes it more about sustaining in battle than "oh no if i dont get to a station ill loose this ship" while there is pretty much no threat nearby

The balance tag wasn't meant like this sorry
