This #Value only happens when the Cosmic Power is checked on the checkbox.

Well, Cosmic Power and really, stupendiously large SM beam weapons - which would have been a useful tidbit to know, because when I saw it was only happening to the top couple SM's I knew exactly what the problem was - I only coded beam weapon output to 300 yota joules, and when you combine SM+40 with Cosmic Power you wind up with beam power in excess of 300 YJ. Knowing that I added code to handle up to 1x10^30 J of energy.

It works perfectly fine until SM+32.

I've no idea what's going on there, and it's working just fine for me. Beam weapons use a simple equation to extrapolate damage beyond 3 PJ of power; there is nothing special about the ZJ of energy compared to the PJ, EJ, or YJ.

That would be because I didn't treat Ether propulsion systems as Reactionless drives, so Boost (or other Reactionless options) never got applied to them.
