A quick example or two to show energy relative to PF.
A ship of MASS 40 with 20 damage boxes is PF 4 and has 4 rows of 5
boxes.
Each row generates 5+D6 energy toward the pool, but the D6 is not rolled
every turn, it is roled once at the start of the game.
This gives the ship (undamaged) 24 to 44 energy, but probably 34 energy.
A ship of MASS 56 with 28 damage boxes and PF 6 would have 28+6D6 energy
when undamaged, with an expected value of 49 energy.
A ship of MASS 72, PF 8 should start with approximately 64 energy. This
ship costs 720 points, though, so is a big chunk of most fleets.
In each case, the ship averages very close to 8xPF in energy.
