Emergency Weapons (Space Ability)

Obtained in: Imperial Pilot >> Imperial Regular Type: recharge allocation Command: /eweapons Effect: This ability allows the pilot to temporarily circumvent the ship's normal power distribution parameters and instead dump all power normally meant for recharging the ship's shields into weapons instead. Note that this doesn't increase how much damage the weapons do, but instead how much power for recharge is available to them. Shunting shield power directly to the weapons allows firing bursts of extended lengths, at the cost of recharging the damage deflection screens.

Running this command temporarily shuts down recharge for the shields and increases the weapon capacitor recharge rate dramatically. A failure to run the command will shut the ship down; and the greater the failure, the longer the downtime.
