Question: "Do I need Shield/Weapon X to progress through Mission X ?"

Ah, the old toss-up. To wait or not to wait ? That is the question. I'd personally save up some extra money and get a good shield before tackling this mission .

ok, well, it's a bit further on my last question, how much is the energy thingy on the ships then? i mean, how much energy can u use without seeing the yellow thingies disappearing

ok, this question is formulated stupid, but hey, i'm dutch

Hmm, since this is an add-on to the last question, I'll answer this one normally.

Well, from my experience in Freelancer, energy storage is universally the same amount. The only difference is what weapons you equip. Level one weapons drain ALOT slower than level ten weapons, but do less damage, and fire more often (usually). It's up to you on what to equip, so everyone experiences a different power requirement.

Energy amounts vary from ship classes. Its a fact that any modder knows

The Titan/Eagle/Sabre have the same amount of energy available. I personally stick to Eagles and Sabres. Titans are nothing better than big nice storage chars Thats why all decent duelers are in Eagles/Sabres(Yes they can be very well used) and Drakes(Yes drakes too, load em up with 3 borroccos and 1 catapult missile....)

but u can't say a number? like 100 each second or something, that u drain the energy at the ship.

little example:
2 weapons with energy 50 /second
energy drain @ ship = 90 /second
so u'll loose 10 / second

I'll let Menzoberranzan answer that, I've never been in the .ini files, so I don't know exactly the numbers.
