At the Corporate Trading Post I can order one Ion Power Capacitor for 4000 credits, or I can order one Longzhu Sphere for 1200 credits.

An Ion Power Capacitor is a beautiful device which enhances your Ion Weapon damage, however, the Longzhu Sphere can do that and much more, yet its available for only a fraction of the price.

Is there any reason to order the Ion Power Capacitor that being the case? Is there something it does I don't know about?

My suggestion for change is that you could order two Ion Power Capacitors rather than just one. That would make it worth ordering instead of the Longzhu

I know a reason to use them and buy them, but not order them.

I'll buy them if I can find them, just for the convenience. But what I'm saying is later in the game, when one might need them, why bother ordering an Ion Power Capacitor over a Longzhu Sphere?

The Longzhu Sphere is cheaper and - on the face of it - better.

You can always use both...but use a Longzhu first, then the Ion Power Cap's afterward--save the rest of the Longzhu's for better useages.

Having the opportunity of getting the Lamplighter now puts the fun into using the QAC long before reaching Heretic w/o worries of Longzhu shortage. :D
