Vulture - 20 million load out?

UPDATE: Found the issue, my power management was screwed up by having all 3 shield cells on at once.
I'm wondering how people manage to spend 20 mil on a Vulture
I don't WANT to spend 20 mil, but I also want to Max it as much as I can.
At the moment due to power constraints (and if I wasn't on a bus I'd link my build) even with a Max power plant, I can only fit B5 thrusters, 2 pulse lasers, and I think I also have a Max FD drive.
I don't have enough power to use more than 2 C shield boosters and a B shield booster...
So even if I wanted to o upgrade it further, I already have to turn off non-essential systems in combat (cargo hatch, FD drive etc.)
How do you even manage to spend £20 mil? Do you count also the value of the ship on its own?

This one is
20 million VultureIt does require some serious power managing.

20 mil?
Fully optimized configuration took around 10 mil altogether with mine ... including a Plasma Accelerator. A Vulture seems to require serious power management in any case.
See
the Vulture loadout thread as well.

Heck, put Mirrored Surface Composite on it and it's a 35 million ship.

That's what it cost to get mine fully kitted!

I can't manage 5A thrusters for power reasons. I'll compare that build with what I have at home and see what I'm missing. I'm 90% sure I have max power plant.

Yup, 20Mil build.... it works like a dream!
Mine is
here.
Have only one shield cell bank powered at a time, and the FSD shuts down when weapons deploy.

One shield cell bank active at a time... Why didn't I think of that?
That's what was causing me issues.
I have mine set to shut down FSD, Fuel Scoop and Cargo Hatch already, but I didn't think about only having one Shield Cell at a time.
I was even considering buying the best life support and then run with it switched off to gain power, but it would limit me to 25 minutes of combat at a time and if someone did breach my canopy then I'd have used part of the reserve. So I am not going to do that now...
Also thanks to the rest of you who posted a build.
