Alright, after further testing I discovered what's causing the energy loss bug.
It's actually a desync issue that causes your speed to stick. Where you can change the speed on client side, the server thinks you're going at full speed at all times.
So when I would go at half speed, I'd only lose a little energy. When I stopped completely, I started losing chunks of energy. Ultimately causing me to appear cloaked on my screen, but not cloaked to others when my battery is drained according to the server.
The most common occurrence for this bug to appear is when you quick log out in open space (Hit the 'x' button, then quickly log back into the server).
Once I did a quick log for the second time when the bug occurred, I was going at full speed when I was at a stand still on my screen when I logged. Then even when I reduced my speed to a halt, the server still thought I was going at max speed, thus the continued energy loss.
Some times when logging back on. If my ship is cloaked, it would suddenly drain my battery from full to zero, then start recharging, lose a chunk of energy, recharging, lose another chunk, over and over.

1 point is hardly a chunk  . Tiny inaccuracies with local calculations that are being corrected by replication.

So it's a desync issue?
Looking at it now. I also notice my speed won't stay at the notch I put it at. It's fluctuating back and forth.
Wasn't like this before the latest patch. What changed?

So the weird energy spikes are the result of client-side calculation errors? Then just give it a better calculator right?
I've had this happen to me, but only very minor. As in, I was going full speed and my energy dropped for a second. It was as if it was displaying my energy wrong and corrected it.
