Description

Ships without a Reactor or Coolant component can still overpower their systems to 300%, despite not consuming energy or generating heat. There's effectively no mechanical reason for such a ship to not overpower all systems at all time. Such ships should not be able to overpower their systems.

Research direction

Start by locating the code that handles system overpowering and checks whether a ship has Reactor or Coolant components. Reproduce the 300% overpowering behavior with both components absent, then verify that such ships can no longer overpower their systems without the associated energy or heat mechanics.
