I noticed that reactors in area mode also try to charge FTL drives even when they're not being used. Theres a simple fix of turning off the FTL drives when it's not needed but it can become really tedious to do especially with multiple ships. The area mode reactors are usually set to central so it gets stuck charging the FTL drives and completely ignored the other more important things like shields if the FTL drive is closer. (Screenshot shows the FTL drive getting charged. It immediately gets uncharged right after, leading to an endless loop of losing energy that could've been used in other components)
Area Mode and FTL Drives
Yes, i already fixed it, it shouldn't happen if you have the latest version (1.3.1 wip2a)
