@@ Line 364: / Line 364: @@
 For unknown reasons, this didn't work for me - the tool showed an error message without any kind of diagnostics. I fell back to configure the network via the GUI. This worked, but when using the 5GHz band network there was a lot of packet loss and at some point the Raspberry Pi fully disconnected. When I later managed to connect via VNC, the GUI showed a password entry dialog. I'm now not sure whether the disconnect happened because the WiFi password was missing, or because of some other problem. In any case, when connecting to the regular 2.4GHz band network the network connection became much more stable.

			== Power Play exclusive ship modules ==

			With one exception, all of the Power Play exclusive ship modules are weapons of one kind or another. The one exception is the Prismatic Shield Generator. '''All modules are useful only for combat.''' Even the Prismatic Shield Generator is not needed for anything besides combat, given that regular Shield Generators and Bi-weave Shield Generators fulfill the shielding function perfectly for all other activities.

			The following table provides an overview of the modules that exist, and their purpose (copied more or less verbatim from the Inara overview article [1]).

			{\| class="wikitable"
			\|+Power Play exclusive ship modules
			\|-
			! Module name !! Module type !! Effect !! Class/rating variants !! Owned !! Not owned !! Notes
			\|-
			\| Advanced Plasma Accelerator \|\| Weapon \|\| Fixed variant of the Plasma Accelerator. It fires three projectiles per shot instead of one. Each projectile has lower damage than the one of a regular Plasma Accelerator, but the total damage of the three projectiles is higher. This comes at the cost of an increased distributor draw and thermal load. \|\| 3B \|\| - \|\| 4x 3B \|\| In a similar manner as the Imperial Hammer, the Advanced Plasma Accelerator is considered to be an equivalent sidegrade of the regular Plasma Accelerator.
			\|-
			\| Concord Cannon \|\| Weapon \|\| Gimballed variant of the regular Cannon. It fires three small projectiles in rapid succession instead of a single large one. Each projectile of the Concord Cannon has lowered damage output compared to the regular Cannon, but lead to more damage overall when summed up. \|\| 2D \|\| 4x 2D \|\| - \|\| Introduced with the release of Powerplay 2.0. [1] states that "Little experimentation has been done with Concord Cannons so far, although the first tests suggest it would be a decent sidegrade compared to regular cannons." This statement may be in need of revision as [1] is almost 2 years old at the time of writing this.
			\|-
			\| Cytoscrambler Burst Laser \|\| Weapon \|\| Fixed variant of the regular Burst Laser. Deals damage equivalent to a class 3 Burst Laser against shields, at the cost of lowered range, '''nullified''' armour penetration and increased jitter. \|\| 1F \|\| 4x 1F \|\| - \|\| In a similar manner as the Enforcer Cannon, this weapon is useful on ships with small hardpoints that preferably have enough speed and agility to stay on target for long amounts of time. The significantly decreased range compared to a regular Burst Laser can be partially mitigated with the Engineering modification Long Range.
			\|-
			\| Enforcer Cannon \|\| Weapon \|\| Fixed variant of the regular Multicannon. Deals damage equivalent to a class 3 Multicannon, at the cost of lowered ammo capacity and increased reload time. \|\| 1F \|\| 4x 1F \|\| - \|\| This weapon can be useful on ships with small hardpoints that would otherwise be "wasted" on other low damage weapons. The lack of a gimballed variant makes it more recommended for agile ships that can stay on target for longer amounts of time.
			\|-
			\| Imperial Hammer Rail Gun \|\| Weapon \|\| Fixed variant of the regular Railgun. It fires three projectiles per shot instead of one. Each Imperial Hammer projectile has lower damage compared to the traditional railgun, but summed together deal more damage overall. This comes at the cost of an increased heat generation. \|\| 2B \|\| 4x 2B \|\| - \|\| This weapon is considered to be a more-or-less equivalent sidegrade of the traditional railgun. The increased overall damage and ability to still deal damage if some of the three projectiles miss are good upsides, but the increased thermal load on a weapon that already generates lots of heat can be a strong limiting factor when outfitting a combat ship.
			\|-
			\| Mining Lance Beam Laser \|\| Weapon \|\| Fixed beam laser that can be used for both combat and mining. The Mining Lance has a reduced Power Distributor draw and significantly increased range compared to a standard Mining Laser, but also increased power draw, thermal load and reduced damage and range compared to a regular Beam Laser. \|\| 1D \|\| 4x 1D \|\| - \|\| This module is considered to be worthless as a weapon due to its low DPS, and of limited usefulness as mining tool since you usually want to mine rocks that are close to your ship and limpets.
			\|-
			\| Pacifier Frag-Cannon \|\| Weapon \|\| Fixed variant of the regular Frag-Cannon. It has increased range and lower pellet spread at the cost of lower damage per shot. \|\| 3C \|\| - \|\| 4x 3C \|\| It is considered to be superior to the regular Frag-Cannons as the benefits outweigh the reduced damage, and is often used for meta PVP combat builds.
			\|-
			\| Pack-Hound Missile Rack \|\| Weapon \|\| Variant of the Seeker Missile. It fires a volley of four small missiles instead of a single large one for the regular Seeker Missile Rack. The Pack-Hound Missiles are much more efficient at overwhelming the target's Point Defences, at the cost of lower splash damage upon detonation. \|\| 2B \|\| 4x 2B \|\| - \|\| Pack-Hounds are often considered to be a fun weapon to use due to the very large amount of missiles that can be fired in rapid successive volleys. But their usefulness is limited by the drawbacks of Seeker Missiles, i.e. low ammo capacity that forces frequent reloads, and poor armour penetration that makes them subpar against large ships with strong armour hardness.
			\|-
			\| Prismatic Shield Generator \|\| Shield Generator \|\| Variant of the regular Shield Generator. It has the same strength as a regular Shield Generator of one size above. This benefit comes at the cost of a significantly increased mass, power consumption and decreased recharge speed. \|\| 2A, 3A, 4A, 5A, 6A, 7A, 8A \|\| 1x each: 3A, 4A, 5A, 6A \|\| 1x each: 2A, 7A, 8A \|\| Probably the most popular Powerplay module. Prismatic Shields can be difficult to properly outfit due to their significant drawbacks. They truly shine for specialised builds, more specifically shield tank combat builds that want to maximise shield strength, or trade and exploration builds that want to keep strong shields in smaller internal slots to save space for other modules (e.g. cargo racks, Guardian FSD booster, etc.).
			\|-
			\| Pulse Disruptor Laser \|\| Weapon \|\| Fixed pulse laser that has a chance to cause temporary module malfunction, in a similar manner as the Engineering experimental effect Scramble Spectrum, at the cost of lowered damage, increased Power Distributor draw, thermal load and power draw. Contrary to Scramble Spectrum, which affects a random module, the Pulse Disruptor always disrupts the targeted module. \|\| 2E \|\| 4x 2E \|\| - \|\| This weapon is considered to be mostly useless due to its low damage, the difficulty to precisely hit a module with a fixed weapon, and the fact it does not cause module disruption until the target's shields are offline.
			\|-
			\| Retributor Beam Laser \|\| Weapon \|\| Fixed beam laser that increases the heat generation of its target and has lower thermal load than the regular Beam Laser, at the cost of significantly lowered damage and increased Power Distributor draw. \|\| 1E \|\| 4x 1E \|\| - \|\| This weapon is seen as the most useless Powerplay module due to its extremely low damage output, and a supbar increase in heat profile on the target.
			\|-
			\| Rocket Propelled Containment Missile \|\| Weapon \|\| Fixed dumbfire missile that reboots the target's FSD upon impact (both on hull or shields), at the cost of lower damage and rate of fire compared to a regular Dumbfire Missile Rack. The FSD reboot effect is similar to the Engineering experimental effect FSD Interrupt, although longer in terms of duration. \|\| 2B \|\| 4x 2B \|\| - \|\| This weapon is usually used for specialised pirate or PVP combat builds to prevent the target from escaping.
