[[{{PAGENAME}}]] is a form of smart power management. By manipulating the power draw priority of lesser ship modules the power limit of a ship can be effectively exceeded without shutting down vital functions of the ship especially when weapons are activated. | [[{{PAGENAME}}]] is a form of smart power management.

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) to 5 (lowest priority). For instance, a module with 5 as priority will shut down first in the case of power draw excess. | 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.
