Ok, I would like to get 5k+ energy myself, so some questions:

How - According to the wiki, the most energy you can have is about 2,000 - I presume the rest is engineers?
Charge rate - again, according to the wiki, the fastes charge rate is 1024 energy in 24 hours (Without the FATHERS). What do you do to get around this - or do you just rank up, and let that fill it?

1. yes the rest is engineers but im pretty sure its more than 2k
2. yes we let it rank up and fill it or tri matrix/cube

I have over 5k energy with 2201 engineers. More when relays are off..

don't have the titan cores...

I come up with 3160 energy from modules. Looks like it's pretty much the same list as Chakotay has and I believe there is still a couple things missing yet. Max energy from modules is still going to be less than about 3500 even if we are missing something, so yes, after a certain point, most of your energy is going to come from engineers.

I think the max is just over 3500. I currently get around 3000 from modules, and I'm still missing more than 500 points worth (I don't have a complete set of Warp-Charge Packs and haven't upgraded from Supernovas to Proxy-Universe Reactors). Off hand, the list is missing:

Voliir Modulator - Mark II x 3 (90 energy total)
Zortah's Interface Jack v.2 x 3 (135 energy)
Titancore Reactor x 4 (240 energy)

Also, to address the original question, a vast majority of energy comes from the rank-up refill, with recharge rate being almost irrelevant.

Yep, I forgot about the Titancores. Zortah2's and Titancores would bring me up to 3535.

How do people get over 3k from the modules? I have spent a few hours doing a spreadsheet and looking at the wiki and came up with 2730 this include sthe -190 from the weapons though. But even if i take them off i only get 2920?? I must be missing something.

EDIT just remembered to take off the relays. This gives me an energy of 3400 from modules

Got it at 3390. Am I missing 10 somewhere or are you rounding?

Edit: 3540 including surge plexuses (I should note that I am including Vygoid or Zolazin bonus from Q-Pedd Logic servos).

My (theoretical) list:
Proxy-Universe Reactor x3: 1620
Dark Warp Coil x4: 120
Encephalon Core x4: 280
Genetarr Transmitter MkII (or Mk1) x4: 80
Lazuli Tevrazon Core x4: 140
Q-Pedd Logic Servo x2: 80 (Vygoid/Zolazin); 40 (all other races)
Surge Plexus x3: 150
T-Plasma Dynamo x4: 280
Titancore Reactor x4: 240
Voliir Modulator x3: 90 (with F.A.T.H.E.R. installed, 45 without)
XRP Warp-charge Pack x4: 280
Zortah's Interface Jack v2 x3: 180
Edit 2:Missed the following:
Q-Phase Battery Array: 15
Exotic Dynamo: 20
Dark Mutagen Battery: 20

Brings me to 3595, still doesn't match Darth's figure.


Also assuming all relays off and no exotic pulsers or drannik ballistae online.

Max energy from modules is 3535. 3575 if you were Zolazin or Vygoid when you installed the Qpedd Logic Servos

From the description, it looks like the Q-Pedd bonus depends on your current race rather than the when installed race. In particular, it doesn't become a mark 2 if you install it as a vygoid, and doesn't lose the "bonus doubles if ..." text if you install in when not Zolazin or Vygoid.

Damn, I'm still out by 35 after corrections.

Having been in and out of Zolazin I can confirm that your assumption is correct.

Thanks.

honestly my energy is so high compared to my rank (8850 energy) that when I level up I need only that energy and 18 hours worth of energy more to level up again, and that's doing the temporal flux orb repeatable mission with a neural

without relays that would take me 3.5 days

of course I COULD endlessly auto-rank by NPCing, but I'm an engineering student and have a butt ton of homework, and I'd really rather not develop arthritis by the age of 30..

Obviously the high ranks got lots o' engineers......energy charge? I don't even install relays most of time (unless I went all out on a base and don't have a refill)

Edit: actually I leave the relays on all the time since I got excess engineers

this my goal so I can leave on the Ion Ballistas....

i can auto with npc, or mission if i wait 5 hours and have a nice mission xp ratio

Atm I have ocer 15k nrg, 120 recharge If I run my relays. Most the time my E bar fills back up before it runs out. Mostly by being smart with my nrg. If I put 50% in to NPC I can put the rest where ever I want .

Getting your nrg mods and high AP will help you.
