Is there going to be a difference in power management and capacitor management between single-seater and multi-crew ships, either in 3.14 or beyond?

TL;DRIn 3.14 power and capacitor management works the same on small and multi-crew ships, though each ship has its own capacitors, with upgrades wanted later and capital ships expected to rely on engineers.

In 3.14, no. It is the same interaction, managing it by the triangle, between small and large ships. However, it's not like one item across all the ships. Every ship has its own set of capacitors. So for 3.14, we're not letting you change them, but we do want to do that in the future so you can sort of upgrade them and have some pros and cons. But for small and large ships, it is the same system. It does have varying different things based on the size of the ship, just because multi-crew ships tend to have more things on them, so adjusting it will have a different experience, but the core interaction is the same. And down the line, when we have multi-crew and capital ships, then I would expect those larger ships do not really deal with the capacitors too much, because it'll be a more in-depth engineer turning systems on and off rather than moving a triangle around.
