Plasma Reactors

Plasma Reactors are used to power most Imperial and Dark Age Technology, and are found in everything from Titans, to Dreadnoughts, to Hives.

### Stable Plasma Reactor (1.1)

These reactors have about 10% better output than an imperial reactor of the same size and are somehow far more stable. Given that they are cheap to build this design is usually found on the cheaper warships where reliability is more important than sheer output. This design also produces less emissions than other reactors so is used for most stealth designs.

### Advanced Plasma Reactor (2)

This version of reactor is far more powerful than an Imperial plasma reactor and notable more stable. It provides twice as much power as an equivalent modern plasma reactor while being less likely to go critical and causing less damage if it does go critical. This is the most common reactor design and is used by the majority of the warship designs you have found.

### Very Advanced Plasma Reactor (3)

This version of reactor is massively powerful than an Imperial plasma reactor and notable more stable. It provides three times as much power as an equivalent modern plasma reactor while being less likely to go critical and causing less damage if it does go critical. This reactor is used by some of the newer starship designs but is not standard.

### Overcharged Plasma Reactor (3)

This version of reactor is designed to produce a massive amount of power at the cost of being a bit unstable. It produces three times as much power as a modern design but is slightly more likely to go critical and will cause a lot more damage if it does. This design is most often found in the fast ships which are willing to sacrifice durability for power and in those ships with the most energy intensive weapons.

### Hyper Plasma Reactor (6)

This version of reactor is designed to produce a incredible amounts of power at the cost of being very unstable and expensive. It produces six times as much power as a modern design but is very likely to go critical if damaged and will cause massive damage if it does. Currently you can only build Hyper Plasma Reactors for Battlecruisers and larger vessels.

### Very Advanced Plasma Reactors: Stable

The result of Archmagos Tranth using what he learned from his studies of the Well of Urd’s Very Advanced Plasma Reactor to create a better version of the Stable Plasma Reactors. This design increases the output by eighty percent, enough to match the output of the Advanced Plasma Reactors used by the majority of your fleets. While his design is noticeably more expensive to produce then an Advanced Plasma Reactor the added stability would significantly increase the toughness on any ship that has one installed. It is also exactly the same size so modifying existing warships to make use of it would be reasonably easy.

### Very Advanced Plasma Reactors: Overcharged

The result of Archmagos Tranth using what he learned from his studies of the Well of Urd’s Very Advanced Plasma Reactor to create a better version of your Overcharged Plasma Reactors. This design is no more unstable then the current Overcharged Plasma Reactors but with a sixty-six percent higher output. This is eighty-five percent of the output as a Hyper-Plasma Reactor while being significantly less volatile, making Advanced Overcharged Reactors a major contended for future vessels. Particularly escorts who can use them unlike Hyper-Plasma Reactors and don't suffered from the added volatility as escorts rarely survive reactor breaches anyway.
