Uh, guess I should've clarified that. 25 reactor + 6 battery (31 total) is safe, 26 reactor + 6 battery (32) crashed (after the battery was activated in an ion storm).

Well, there's always this post that could be used to ask Matthew to keep his promise
Though I guess that was just a "give me a break, people" type of reply.

Karto, you where right, 31 is the max power you can have not including zoltans.

I made 2 runs with a Nesasio and the Simo-H with identical layouts and same crew, 7 zoltans, and another race for pilot. The difference being 31 and 32 power respectively. The zoltans where all in power granting spots. The Nesasio whent to all storms wihout a hitch, until the battery was activated. I was then inmediately dropped to windows. The Simo-H dropped me as soon as I heard the thunder.

so, if you run standard ships, do not activate the battery (fully modded) in a storm. If you mod ships Potential Style, do not go over 31.

thanks for the tip, Karto

I was running a custom loadaout Nessasio with a 30 bar generator, 3 zoltans (although only 2 zoltans were providing power at that time) and a level one battery. The fight when well before and after the storm and destoyed the enemy while in the storm. As the fight was over, I press the battery and it crashed.

A level 1 battery should not have crashed the game???

Regarding everyone else's comments, perhaps it would be best just revert the battery back to 2 bars... I'm sorry I ever said anything about increasing the battery power...

I made a run with 31 reactor (no battery) and zoltans, and it crashed. Therefore, it can't be that simple.

If we all do that, we'll never advance the state of modding. MUST. RESEARCH. TEST. DISCOVER.

I don't see any bugs in those images, Ahmedoo.

I assume ahmadoo is referring to the order in which the options appear. I did not immediately realize whats the problem either.

Yeah, that's not the first time I post this kind of bugs so I knew that Sleeper will find out what I mean . Sorry for me being perfectionist.

I was using CE 1.246, but I didn't notice this bug in the changelog.

The new Kestral A & C doors from the artillery rooms appear to be quite bugged. Try moving from the weapons room to the oxygen room and you'll see what I mean.

Level 2 battery is just not enough power though ;; I like using the higher levels of battery, it actually lets me do stuff.

Is there any way to have the battery be disable partially or fully in the ion storm? It is a power generator, so maybe if it's putting out too much juice (ie level 3+) the storm affects it.
