Supercapacitor

== Description ==
With a powerful enough generator, many ships do not need batteries at all. The one exception is projectile weapons, which usually require a burst of energy far exceeding what the generator produces. Supercapacitors provide just enough energy storage for those weapons, without requiring you to install a bulky battery pack.
== Location ==
The Supercapacitor can be purchased at ports around the galaxy.
== Information ==
A Supercapacitor expands your storage capacity by 750. These are primarily used to provide burst power to weapons. When paired with a sufficiently strong generator, the capacitors can be fully recharged during the weapon's cooldown time, allowing for continuous firing. They are not suitable for large-scale energy storage, as even the LP036a Battery Pack provides more storage-per-mass-unit, and for less than half the price per-outfit.
As the smallest possible energy storage, supercapacitors can also be useful on cargo-expanding fighters, like the Boxwing, which are not ordinarily intended to be deployed.
Because of their high cost-to-mass ratio, supercapacitors are highly valued as plunder from captured ships.
