Summary
Absorber sections are equipped with a power transducer that uses energy weapons fire to recharge on-board weapons systems.
The Point Absorber Section absorbs 75% of all energy based attacks, but does nothing to ballistic weapons. When recharging weapons, Absorbers work on a point system with size of weapon given priority. So a medium hit will refill a medium weapon if it can but, if they are all loaded, then it will refill 1/x of a large energy weapon, etc etc. The hardware required to generate an Absorption field is fixed in size, and as such fills a Destroyer Absorption mission section but fits in the command section of Cruisers and Dreadnoughts.
