Starmade | Defensive Push and Pull effect unaffected by changes to DefensiveBasePowerConsumption
Confirmed task for development, NormalPublic
Actions

Description

#1 original report
It seems that changes to the value DefensiveBasePowerConsumption don't affect the actual power consumption of stop effect systems ingame.

I have a ship with one Stop effect system, consisting of one computer and one module. The ship's power output is 1676.1 e/s (total power 50000).
I tried setting the DefensiveBasePowerConsumption to values between 1 and 100000, but it seems that power always depletes in less than 4 seconds after activating the system.
Notes

I'm not sure if I have a misconception here.
I didn't test if other effect modules are affected by this type of bug, too.

#2
I've put every base power consump on 1000 and tested a Single block defensive module out.

Overdrive: 2000/s (multiplier is 2 so this is correct)
EMP: 1000/s
Punch-through: 1000/s
Stop: 1000/s
Explosive: 1000/s
Ion: 1000/s
Piercing: 1000/s

Seems stop works fine at this moment.

Push and Pull: both use around 1/2 power every click. This should be more considering the base power consump is 1000/10000 or 100000. Changing title and description.

#3
Push and Pull use 1 power for each block in that system. 480 blocks -> 480 power per click.

<PullEffect>
                <BasicValues>  
                        ...
                        <DefensiveBasePowerConsumption>*100*</DefensiveBasePowerConsumption>  <!-- Power cost per block per second, % bonus is based on the system/ship mass size ratio -->
                        <DefensiveBaseMultiplicator>1</DefensiveBaseMultiplicator> <!-- multiplied with effect block count -->
                        <DefensiveEffectType>EVADE</DefensiveEffectType> 
                        <EffectConnectDescription>Adds pull effect to the weapon</EffectConnectDescription>
                        <EffectIgnoresShields>true</EffectIgnoresShields>
                        <DefensiveEffectCapPercent>1.0</DefensiveEffectCapPercent>
                </BasicValues>
        </PullEffect>

Changing DefensiveBasePowerConsumption to 0 or a huge number changes nothing. First thought it was using the DefensiveEffectCapPercent number but that didn't do anything either.
Am I looking at the wrong variables?

#4
0.1809
Now push and pull use 40 power for each block, each click. I tried changing the DefensiveBasePowerConsumption but it didn't change anything.
