So much in this game needs fixing! I have taken note of it but I expect someone else will get around to fixing it before me.

Do you not get any rewards if you just use the energy cell from the Ithorian nearby?

@Mephiles550

Fassa doesn't reward you for fixing the power distribution. You can get XP, but only if you choose the right option (computer skills) and do it in the right order (fix the power before speaking with Fassa or Lasavvou).

Fassa only rewards you for prioritizing the freighters, and it's based purely on your level.

I suspect the rushed development is what led to this. I don't blame Obsidian, I blame LucasArts for every obstacle they put in place (short development window, tiny budget, no access to K1 information, etc...)
