Starship insulators lower weapon power drain?

Alright so I just heard that Starship insulators skill, and any console that gives bonus resist to power drain also lowers how much power your weapons drain. Is this true? I know that EPS consoles are popular because you get weapon power back faster but since when do energy drain resist consoles lower weapon power drain? I really hope someone was just explaining it wrong and that this is not true, that would be kinda stupid.

    They explained it wrong, none of this is true.

    If you own any of the omega reputation console/torp/KCB set, look at the 2 piece bonus. it says it gives something like +200 resist to weapon power drain. Things that are decribed like that are the only things that give you weapon power drain resists from firing.

    There are not many in the game. Marion doff does for 8 seconds when using DEM, the Valdore/Mogai warbird console 2 piece bonus does, and the Omega set that i already mentiomned does. Not much else i can think of off the top of my head.

    Power insulators reduce the amount of energy drain on your ship from attacks that drain ship power. Also, EPS consoles, do not refill power expended from firing any faster. They only boost transferrance power, such as when you drop out of full impulse how quickly your power levels fill back up. EPS has no effect on weapon power drain refill at all. I used to think it did as well a long while back until i was corrected and researched into it. Apparently it used to at one point, but they changed it some time ago.
