-[[File:Energy.gif|left]] The energy in the energy banks of a vessel can be regarded as its life-blood, once it runs out the ship will die. On every ship the [[HUD_images_here|HUD]] will have indicators to display the levels of energy available. All equipment is powered by these banks, including the shields, which contribute a considerable drain. When the shields are depolarised, more damage will cause a massive loss of power as the ship's systems short out. Fortunately the banks are recharged continuously by the [[Engine]] Main Drive turbines'''.

 There are two important matters to consider when buying a new ship: how many energy banks are there - and how quickly do they recharge? The Cobra MkIII is one of the best ships available in the [[Vanilla game]] in this respect. It is excelled in both number and recharge rate only by the police [[Viper Interceptor]]. The [[Escape Pod]] is the worst (one energy bank, slow recharge). See the '''OoliteRS.pdf''' (Reference Sheets) which came in your original game download: it contains details of the other Vanilla game ships with these details.
