Alright, so here we go again. Unfortunately, Gerald has been kinda busy lately, mostly with other stuff, which made me having to deal with the powercore all alone. Not that this would be a problem though, I believe I can also handle it on my own.
However to be completely honest, and this is a long time mechanic speaking here, I don't see any good chances in bringing the powercores back to 100% as they are now. As I already pointed out in my last log, the one we removed from one of the Nyxes looked extremely rosty, hence Itried a few things with it, to be precise to replace the batteries and some very old cables. In the end though, I decided to put it under a stress test, draining as much power from the core as a usual Nyx would need to operate at 100%, and it literally didn't take three seconds until the core malfunctioned completely and just fell asleep. I tried to get it back online with any means possible, but nothing helped, some fatal error must have occured I don't have any idea about.
Keeping this failed experiment in mind, I'd highly suggest ordering new power cores instead of working on the old. I already made one into complete scrap, and in serious combat situations where full power is needed, I doubt we can or should risk a power core error like the one I caused. For our own safety, we should order new ones and work on implementing those instead. This task would be a lot easier, as I'm more or less expertised in adjusting ships to power cores, not the other way around.
Otherwise, there's nothing new to report, as I'd like to wait for the new power cores to arrive before I want to make a decision on what to do with the weapons systems and the blackmarket engines.
