Find poweruse of item
I tried something like (itmGetDataField thisItem "powerUse") but got only a Nil result. I like to know how much power an item needs without using a brute force check on ships with varying reactorPower stats.

Find special weapon properties
...Such as mining so that only ships with mining laser, plasma torch, or other similar weapons can be ordered to mine.

Just reverse-engineered obtaining powerUse of deviceItems:

Code: Select all

(itmGetProperty itemUNID/itemStruct "power")

Returns powerUse of item in kilowatts.
