Got it, however this is too much power. If you use this system, the
battery
will virtually always be full.

>As opposed to:

Even my system bothered me a little bit that the power regeneration was
a
little too effective. I would have rounded normally on all those numbers
(2
and 5 for your system, 2 and 5 for mine).

Play balance!!! One size fits all is like FT2 hulls: it can't be
properly
balanced and people can them take advantage of the loophole in the
MASS/POINTS.
