About the PR
Added a positive exponential scalar for power output for AME core counts; bigger cores produce more power for the same amount of fuel, and AMEs produce about the same amount of power per core at 2x fuel per core regardless of size.
Enlarged AME jars to hold 1600 fuel instead of 1250.
Reduced ZPinch fuel efficiency to run just under two hours (105 minutes) on roundstart fuel.
Introduced logic checks to prevent the AME controller from producing power without any cores and from registering negative-infinity power at 0 injection.
Why / Balance
Z-Pinch very too good. AME big and not as good. Made this better. Big AME very much power. Z-Pinch need refueling during round now. Seemed silly to be flying with a giant explosive power plant that might only be marginally better than a pinch reactor or two.
How to test
Fly ships with AMEs and fly others with Pinches.
