Advanced Power Systems 2

Hello there and welcome to the 2nd Advanced Power Systems mod :)

Firstly, big thanks goes out to Stonelords for contributing the models of this mod. They've really gone above and beyond with the designs, ideas and bringing a few of my thoughts to the mod.

Firstly we have the Batteries. One major inclusion this time around is a massive 3x3x2 large grid battery with a whopping 70MW of storage. While this is great, it's the battery's discharge rate of 220MW which should interest you; this is a massive benefit for recharging multiple jumpdrives at once to get them to peak power as soon as possible. It's also expensive to make however I believe the benefits of this battery outweighs the cost.

The other batteries have all had their new models applied and a bit of a product cost and updated stats.

Next is the Windmill. Highest improvement here is the fact they are now stack-able and with the improved 1.1MW total max power output, these should be on your earth-type base. Improvements over the original design has seen more bearings placed into the central shaft which takes the load off the main core. The output is less wind vanes required for an increase of power.

Hydrogen Engines are next on the list. Both small and large grid. Increased storage tank size and power output.

Finally the Solar Panels and let me tell you - BIG changes here. The large grid now gets a whopping 5x5 double sided octagon solar panel. Perfect for the local trading station or a solar station in orbit. These also have different mounting points and offsets for those who requested it! The small grid variant is a bit different with a 2 by 2 sized panel. While smaller than the original, it puts out a punch for the size.
