battery serve as energy soucre for special devices (cloaking devices, trator beam, others..)
emerency power source (in case of out of fuel, preventing reactor overload)
and reinfoncing shield.
Of course, battery have limited capacity and will be charged from reactor.
Permanent (but upgradable) or optional device ?

hmm a battery sounds more like a useable item that increases the power output of your reactor for a limited time. I would use them :D Sounds like a very usefull item.
Just think of it you have overloaded your reactor and are dependent on batteries but you have just run out. What devise do you disable? Weapon and dash looking for friendly station? Shield to crack that base that is almost down and you think your armor can take it?

I like that alot Betelgeuse. The only reservation I have is that the enemy must be able to use them. They might also be able to add to other devices for a temporary effect than your reactor (as different types or multiple uses like the Longhuzus) like add to the thrust of your engine to escape/pursue, shields recharge faster/recharge instantly(like superconduct) etc..

sounds like an interesting idea, if it modifys energy based items, like shields and reactors, would it have any effects on laser weapons?

Betel have right, my idea is battery serve as increased power output for limited time, and to special purposes (power special devices, reinforce shields).
Not to modify power of wepons/shields - but this sounds interesing (another battery type).
Im see the advertising, buy batteris to increase you combat abilities. Best at Czert TechCorp. :lol:

This is possible, I made a reactor that could go into overdrive mode for a short time, providing a higher energy output for a short time at the cost of fuel efficiency.

Useable items would be really neat and not too difficult. I'll try and put together a concept mod in the next week.
