When you upgrade a weapon,the amount of power it consumes from the reactor increases,and sometimes,depending on the reactor,the amount of power the reactor produces isn’t enough to support that upgraded weapon.
let’s say,for example,the amount of times the weapon was upgraded is 5,and the weapon can’t be upgraded to level 6,7 or 8 because the power consumed would become higher than the power produced by the reactor (assuming the reactor is really weak),you will start the mission at firepower 5. you will be able to take atoms during the mission and increase your firepower to levels above firepower 6,even though your reactor is supposed to be unable to produce enough power for it. so instead,either make it (in this example) 5+x,or make the heat sink unstable when going over the limit your reactor can handle.
