Power optimiser should do more.

Power optimisers should also reduce battery consumption and heat produced from weapons.

maybe battery consumption, but if it reduced heat aswell it would be a too powerful

Tbh, I already feel as if the power optimiser is way too strong already, giving it even more stuff would reduce reasons to pick anything else <.<

Im not saying it should be as strong as the heatsink mod, just a small heat/battery use reduction. Technically if something use less power, it produce less heat, but Im not here to debate real life physics, it just would be nice. Or maybe they could just make a new weapon mod that reduce battery use, since we have a mod that reduce heat. Or just make the heatsink mod reduce battery use aswell. I just think there should be something for battery consumption too.

I can agree that the optimiser should be nerfed a bit, nowadays everyone use it and it basically negates the need of power generators early game and the need to upgrade to higher tiers late game if wanted. Maybe make it something like level1(-0.5), level2(-1.5), level3(-2.5), and power reduction would only count when you have a full number(-1, -2, etc). So if you have a level 1 it would still count as -0 power but if you had two level 1s it would count as -1 power.

Moving back to topic, id be happy if the power optimiser had a small heat reduction/battery consumption reduction bonus. But I wouldnt mind if they just added a battery consumption reduction mod instead.
