It seems that there is an upper limit as to how much energy one can recharge in an hour. With energy artifacts at a premium, I offer the following artifact idea.

Energy Hourglass: Doubles the energy recharge rate of your ship.
Effects last 2 hours.

Gotten from a regular artifact pull, and not from a mission, or a NPC. It would cost 20,000 artifact points. It would have a scrap value of between 15,000, and 30,000 credits.

Opinions are most welcome,

well i've heard it mentioned by someone that dan once said he feels 120 energy per hour (1 every 30 seconds) is enough, so if this is ever thrown in, it'll probably be capped at that

lol, unfortunately no energy artifacts can be gained through the regular artifact draw, as higher levels get a huge amount of ap per hour. a few legionmates make over 20k artifact production per hour in the unknown, and im sure there are similar players in the other top 50 legions. anyway, this has been suggested before, a new relay type thing that gives 2 energy per tick instead of one, and i thought that was an interesting idea, but unfortunately as an artifact i dont think it would work out...

Energy Hourglass , nice name

Yea make it a NPC a rare one or a Boss/Elite. This is a cool idea though.

I don't like it. it is very cool but if it gets capt at 120 then it would be annoying to spend the upkeep and rp on the ships mods when you could just use the artifact. then after you work hard VERY hard to get the 120 rate what do you do when you get the useless artifact? and getting 240 an hour for 2 hours would be insane. It is a cool idea but i don't think Dan will do it. I would support him if he decided not to. How ever for the same stats ap pull and scrap value maybe an artifact that will give you 10% your max nrg back rounded down. Or have an npc drop it.

The idea is good but i don't think it will fit in this game.
