Weapons control centre always consumes power. If you go to power grid and power off the weapons they show the flashing no power icon but still consume power.

Is it something that used to work before?
no idea
Expected behavior
It should not consume any power when weapons are powered off.
Actual behavior
It consumes power no matter the setting.
Repro steps
Add a weapons control centre to a ship. Connect it to power. Go to powergrid and power off the weapons. Weapons will still show power being consumed by the control centre. If you remove the weapons control centre then go back to the powergrid you'll see the power usage is gone.
This looks to be fixed with Alpha 9 as the weapons consoles were getting assigned to science category from the release notes. I'm not seeing this issue anymore.
