I understand that you have to allocate energy for the turbolasers. Once that energy is allocated (lets just say you have your turbolaser slots full and they have the proper amount of energy on their turbolaser cards for you to shoot them), am I still able to generate "energy" when I move for the corvette for other energy functions. I am pretty confused about this. Once the pink tokens are on the turbolasers cards, can I still max out energy for the corvette or if the max energy is on the turbolaser cards can I not get anymore energy for the corvette to allocate somewhere else? I hope that makes sense...sorry If I confuse anyone...

Once you allocate the energy to the turbo laser - then that energy does not count towards your ships total energy, and it is stored on the Laser's card until it's used. It can't be used for anything but the laser.

Yes, you can still add energy back to the ship card via maneuvers. The energy stored on secondary weapons and other cards does not count against your ship total, but it cannot be used for any other purpose except the card it is stored on. You can have all three secondaries charged and still fill to the maximum on your ship card.

Technically you can also use the hardpoints as batteries. If you have depleted the ships energy stores, you can reallocate energy from the weapons to the ship (up to its max capacity) and then use it for, say the recover action or other Energy actions

No you can't. The Allocate Energy step only works one way - from the ship to an upgrade. There is no mechanism to move energy back from an upgrade to the ship.

I stand corrected. should have flipped to the tab with the rules before posting.

ty for the help that clears up that confusion for me.

Speaking of which I want an upgrade that gives large base ships a low energy rating, 1 energy per green manuever, and the recover shield action... Cost it at 10 points or so. It would be fun.
