    So says you. I got what I got out of it.

      Power reserve can be aimed at the primary power supply as well depending on the context.

        Power reserve, when referring to a singular power source, usually means the predetermined percentage that the manufacturer stresses a refill is necessary. At around 10%, most cars nowadays will ding to let you know you'll need to refill soon. InDestiny's case however, as with most scientific and military situations, it should mean a reserve tank (so to speak).

          And most cars still have a gallon or two of gas left once your meter is on empty.. usually good for 30-40 miles.

            When you Car has a full tank of Fuel it is at 100 percent capacity. What is so hard to understand about that?
            The only difference is that Destiny has a full tank of Hydrogen Gas Super heated no less. You try storing that!
            Could you imagine the presure that the super heated gas would create?

            I would not mind betting that, that is why Destiny only stores at 40% Capacity for normal running.Limit the capacity you limit the Stress and the Danger on the tanks.

            I would not also mind betting that the ancients set this up on purpose so that destiny only stores at 100% when required.

            Like i said before just because you can store at 100% it does not mean that you have to all the time.
            I am certanly not talking about batteries!

            That was just one of my ideas.

              But they keep referring to the reserves, not the core capacity. That's my point. When to reserve something, it's stored for use later, after the main item is gone.

                I just hope this question is addressed and clarified in the final episode.
