Fun, easy, little-thought steps to avoid death by powersink as an AI:
Step 1) Set equipment power on the AI APC to "ON"
Step 2) Turn off the lights
Step 3) Watch for lots of power warnings
Step 4) Lots of warnings probably means there is a sink; set your local SMES to 200,000 output
Step 5) Yell at the engineers to turn the damn engine on so you don't die
Result: powersink drains APC at the same rate it is charging, so long as the engine is running at 200k+ w, the sink wonk kill you and you wont drain your SMES. Energy Neutrality!
What I would like to see, is a way to 'fix' the AI so long as the sprite exists. I mean, it is a computer after all; "Oh, the AI died because it ran out of power." "Lets plug it back in then!"
