Operator ruling, 2026-09-30: "Yep, we need a station reactor." Zenith's 16-cell
Reactor hardpoint had no design to fill it, so generated stations had no power.
A transient `AetherDb station-reactor [apply]` authored it from Manhattan, the
largest and most industrial reactor, scaled by cells (16/9):
Station Reactor (GearData, Reactor hardpoint, full 4x4)
mass 500 -> 888.9, price 750,000 -> 1,350,000 (to the nearest 50,000),
charge 500..1000 -> 888.9..1777.8; every other value, the efficiency,
overload and throttling stats and all stat terms, the roles (core,
regulator), temperatures, durability and sound bank are Manhattan's.
Product "Station Reactor" by Zhestokost (Manhattan's maker), default role
quality.
Station generation fills the slot through its ordinary hardpoint pass. Tests:
every generated station carries one heater and a reactor; an idle station (a
quiet arena, nothing else running) holds its heater's cells above freezing over
the second five of ten minutes (unpowered they fell to ~247 K); a station hull
with no room for a heater fails generation by name instead of skipping it
(Soul's S11 survived before).
The station's border cells still sit near 265 K with the heater and reactor
running (the reactor core reaches ~433 K); how warm the whole hull should run
is left as a tuning question.
