Afterburner Details
From UniWiki
Special Notice: E-UNI Director Irdalth Delrar is stuck between nationalities and needs your help in RL.
Afterburners take up a medium power slot on your ship fitting.
There are different sizes of Afterburner based on basic ship hull size. A rough guide :
- 1MN = Frigate size
- 10MN = Cruiser/Battle Cruiser
- 100MN = Battleship+
Drawbacks
- Extra capacitor consumption as it cycles
- Longer ship alignment speeds whilst it is active.
- Afterburners don't provide anywhere near as much of a speed boost as a Microwarpdrive, (roughly 100% boost rather than 500% depending on variations) but come with less penalties.
Advantages vs. a Microwarpdrive
- Considerably less skill and fitting requirements
- They can still be used in Mission deadspaces that interfere with warp fields.
- They don't have a penalty to Capacitor size
- They don't have a penalty to ship signature size whilst active.
