'''Module priority control''' is a feature that allows pilots to prioritize power for specific modules, so that in the event of a power shortage due to an insufficient or damaged [[Power Plant]], modules that the pilot deems vital can remain activated. It is accessible in the right panel of the [[HUD]]. Careful module priority control can allow pilots to carry more modules than their Power Plant can support and activate/deactivate them as necessary, as well as allow their ship to continue fighting to a degree even if they lose their Power Plant in [[combat]]. | |||

To set up a hierarchy for power usage, the priority number in the Modules tab on the right-side panel can be changed for each individual module. Priority ranges 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. | To set up a hierarchy for power usage, the priority number in the Modules tab on the right-side panel can be changed for each individual module.

The following table lists a rather power-consuming [[Bounty Hunter|bounty hunter]] loadout for the [[Vulture]] including assigned module priorities and the power usages between deployed and retracted hardpoints. Without setting module priorities, this particular loadout would render the ship entirely inoperational due to power draw excess. | |||
