To set a ~~hierarchy for the modules'~~ power draw, the priority number in the Modules tab on the right-side panel can be changed for each module. Priority ~~numbers~~ range from "1" (highest priority) through "5" (lowest priority). For instance, a module with "5" as priority will shut down first in the case of power draw excess.

To set up a power draw hierarchy, the priority number in the Modules tab on the right-side panel can be changed for each individual module. Priority range from numbers "1" (highest priority) through "5" (lowest priority). For instance, a module with "5" has the lowest possible priority and will shut down first in the case of power draw excess.

The idea is to set the highest number (5) for ~~those~~ modules which are expendable in [[combat]]. This includes [[Cargo Hatch]], [[Frame Shift Drive]], [[Fuel Scoop]], ~~etc~~.

The idea is to set the highest number ("5") for modules which are expendable in [[combat]]. This includes [[Cargo Hatch]], [[Frame Shift Drive]], [[Fuel Scoop]], and so forth.

~~If done right~~, ~~whenever hardpoints get deployed now (power draw exceeds power output), those~~ modules ~~with the highest number will be automatically~~ disabled ~~first. Once hardpoints are fully retracted, they will be~~ re-~~engaged~~ automatically ~~after a few seconds. This way power draw never exceeds power output~~ and ~~the ship is kept completely operational in and out of combat~~.

Once module priority control is employed, the modules concerned are disabled and re-enabled automatically whenever hardpoints are deployed and retracted.
