/Minimum Energy 1000
A command that sets a minimum limit to the amount of bank used for drone charging or any charging for that matter. Sometimes I am in situations where I am charging 3 or 4 different drone types and want to tractor something for a second or use a tweak and am not able due to total bank drain.

Re: /Minimum Energy 1000
Definitely agreed. In general, we need much more control over how our energy sinks are managed.

Re: /Minimum Energy 1000
Would be cool to have an interactive box with limits. Kind of like updating prices on stuff.

Re: /Minimum Energy 1000
I feel like this would be over-complicating things. If you want to stop your drones from sucking all your energy, then you can just unequip them. I mean, the whole system was designed to give you total control over what is taking energy and what isn't.

Re: /Minimum Energy 1000
It is far from over-complicating things. It is just like the lovely command "Keep minimum" for trade goods in user bays. I think a feature like this would be amazing.

Re: /Minimum Energy 1000
Droner already requires much more micromanagement than most classes. Before drone charging, you could at least make the simple decision of deploying or not deploying a drone on the basis of how much energy you currently had. Now, you're faced with two options:
1) Spam Alt+numbers immediately after scooping drones (perhaps multiple kinds) to avoid draining your bank. 2) Choose not to deploy a drone minutes in advance in order to avoid that whole situation.
Why shouldn't players be able to configure their elec sinks?

Re: /Minimum Energy 1000
Certain suggestions should be moved to the accepted and next patch area

The suggestion is good.
