Reactor Points

Reactor Points (RP) represent the ability of your reactor to support most activities in Ship Combat. Reactor Points are needed for changing range in Ship Combat (either 3 or 4 points), firing weapons (between 1 and 4 points each), and launching small craft (2 points each). Your reactor points per turn are dictated by your engine. Most engines supply 8 reactor points with a few supplying 9 or 10. At least one Xeno ship makes use of a 12 RP engine. Reactor points can be temporarily increased by some talents and decreased by some Crippling Effects, debuffs from opposing talents, and even some of your own talents.
