The '''Power Distributor''' is a module that regulates the distribution of power from the [[Power Plant]] between the ship's three main subsystems: Systems (SYS) which controls shield strength, Engine (ENG) which controls thruster output, and Weapons (WEP) which supplies power to weapon modules. It also includes a capacitor bank for each of the three systems, plus a three-way recharge capability that has increased or decreased effectiveness depending on its power allotment.

* The Power Distributor's energy capacity stats are given, somewhat nonsensically, in MW.  Physically, an amount of stored energy ought to be measured in Joule or something like that; only energy flows should be measured in MW.  It seems like energy capacity is actually given in something close to MW-seconds.
