Hyper Capacitor System
A hyper capacitor system can be used as an optional recharge capacitor for nuclear reactors only. Energy batteries, augmentation packs or auxiliary power units cannot use hyper capacitor systems. Also, only ZAFT has access to hyper capacitor system technology.
The hyper capacitor system doubles the EU recharge rate of nuclear reactors for 1d6 rounds. Players must declare that they have the hyper capacitor system online at the start of a melee round and use one action to activate it.
However, the system can only be used ONCE in a battle. If turned off after use while there are still usable rounds left, the capacitor cannot be turned on again. When the capacitor shuts down after the usable rounds run out, it cannot be used again for that battle. After use, the mobile suit must return to a base or carrier for maintenance of the capacitor for it to be used again.
