Power Generartion?

By Xarun, in Rogue Trader Rules Questions

Hello everybody, long time lurker here with a question.

How does power generation work?

do i have full power in each combat round or do i have to charge it in some way?

if i fire a starbreaker lance with power 6, is it 6 power for each shoot or only for using it?

Thanks for your help in advance.

Power is only used to determine how much you can put on your ship. It is not a resource to be used up or charged. You just need enough power to power everything on your ship. Your can also receive damage that will power down a component.
