Bear in mind that a Tigress can land 430 (USP 9 nuke missile batteries) 
x 900 EP of energy in a single round! ~429,570 EP! In HG2 terms...

ouch!

This is more than 10x the energy a Tigress can dissipate from its 
capacitors per turn...

0.5% x M x J = 0.5% of 500000 x 4 = 2000000 x0.5% = 10000 dT capacitors

EP stored = 36 x 10,000 = 360,000 EP

1 extra dT capacitor = umm MCr - I can't see it offhand. Assume 4MCr if 
the same as J Drive cost per dT... will ask CT-starships for cost 
confirmation...
