pretty much a artifact that gives you a energy storage. it will allow you to transfer any amount of energy to and from the battery at any time but each one will have a maximum energy cap(either a set amount or based on your rank), maybe it can be a ct-lab discovery, any suggestions?

EDIT: -also the battery does not recharge like the energy bar, only for storage
-cap based on rank

so..
Energy Cubes
Tri-Matrix Emblems
Silthion Energy Sacs
10GP energy refills
and a recharge rate of 120 per hour is not enough?

-1

the idea is to store extra energy, for example before a rank up

Struggling to see how this is any different than any module that raises your max energy except that it has some sort of manual transfer requirement. Are you intending that it isn't refilled on ranking like the standard energy bar?

I think he means for storage purposes especially when you don't want to actively play, but are willing to come on when you know your energy has been full and dump it in the storage to use later. Helps for reducing lost energy on rank up as well, but I think its greatest benefit is also its greatest downside; If the storage size is large or has no limit, then players can abuse hoarding a large amount of energy. If it is implemented, I'd say limit its size based on rank, not allowing it to be larger than the most you could have with full energy modules equipped.

Battery may not have been the best word choice.

I think I understand the concept.

Say you have 1000 energy and you need 1xp to rank up and can't donate to the legion.

Store as much energy as possible and then rank up; you don't lose the 1000 energy.

Not sure of where I stand though.. It would be convenient.. But perhaps a little un-balanced. +/- 0

people should not be rewarded with the extra energy if they dont play often or didnt do the research to be able to donate
i still give the idea -1

this would lead to massive auto ranking. its never going to be implemented. it gets suggested every few months and its never gotten a +1 from anyone

any energy recharge storage is an automatic -1 from me ...

but if it was there, i would use it for sure

same...would also make installing energy modules kind of useless if you could store energy.

store everything every day you dont feel like npcing or doing missions...
checks a few weeks later , BAM 500000k energy , not OP at all....
