Power Modes: Difference between revisions

Latest revision as of 21:19, 27 June 2025

Power modes can be used to change how power is allocated between three different systems in your ship:

Thrusters: Acceleration (not maximum speed) in cruising and direct control
Shields: Shield recharge rate
Weapons: Weapon fire rate

You can change your power mode using /pm (Shield Power) (Weapon Power) (Thruster Power). The numbers you input must add to 100. A system's power cannot be below 10 or above 50. You can assign these modes to a sign by writing [powermode] on a sign and setting the second, third, and fourth lines to your desired shield, weapon, and thruster power.

-Ships can be put into different power modes, to utilize a ships power differently and efficiently.

-(for those who are familiar, this is similar to how ships are managed in Star Wars Squadrons)

-* Thrusters: Acceleration (''not'' speed) in cruising and direct control
-* Shields: Shield recharge rate
-* Weapons: Weapon recharge rate
-You can change your power mode with the command <code>/pm (Shield power) (Weapon power) (Thruster power)</code>. The numbers you input must add to 100. A system's power cannot be below 10 or above 50.
-EXAMPLE:
-a valid powermode command <code>/pm 50 40 10</code>
-an invalid powermode command <code>/pm 70 20 10</code>
-You can assign these modes to a sign by writing <code>[powermode]</code> on a sign and setting the second, third, and fourth lines to your desired shield, weapon, and thruster power.
-==Tips==
-if you have macro buttons on your mouse or keyboard, you can assign commands such as <code>/pm 10 40 50</code> and <code>/pm 40 50 10</code> to quickly switch between powermodes for attacking and then running with [[Starfighter]]s
