that takes alot of energy indeed.
the behemoth, asuming a complete model, needs to power its shields, power its guns, power its engines, and boy, that thing is 10 times as big as the midway, it needs lots of power to even budge it an inch, based on what? try to push a 500 lbs man sitting, then try to push a 50lbs kid sitting.
then, it needs power to shoot its pretty damn huge gun.
now, the whole ship, has guns, living areas/bridge (which, imo shouldnt take that much space) therefore, less power is needed to light up the ship, a very small difference, the most of the ship is made out of super conducters, meaning, energy, synonyme, power, now, the midway short circuited (or something i dont have WCP) after firing its plasma cannon, asuming that gun cant tear a planet appart, the laser of the behemoth would take more power, 500 gigawatts to be exact, now they dont mention how much that plasma gun needs. But i asume, on the evidence that the behemoth can seriously ruin a planets day, that it needs more power than the plasma cannon on the midway, and concidering the midway shorted out, (or whatever) shows the midway power core wasent sufficiant (nor built to carry such a thing)
in short, the behemoth was MADE to 'carry' a huge weapon, to blow up planet, which takes a *lot* of energy to fire.
the midway, was NOT built for carrying a plasma cannon, but it used it, and shorted out, therefore, on that, i say you prove me that the behemoth *doesn't* have more power/energy whatever than the midway
now if the discussion wasent at all about this, i must be crazy
