==== Velocity formula ====

The maximum velocity of ~~a ship using~~ a propulsion module is as follows:

The maximum velocity bonus of a propulsion module is as follows:

{{code|V~~max~~ = Vbase × Vbonus × ( Thrust / Mass )}}

{{code|Vpropulsionbonus = Vbase × Vbonus × ( Thrust / Mass )}}

To make this clearer, you can ~~divide~~ this formula into two sections; one for your maximum velocity without your propulsion module turned on and one for when you turn on the propulsion module, since the '''Thrust / Mass''' part of the formula isn't relevant when your propulsion module is turned off. Since the game also separates and stacks independently the propulsion {{icon|velocity|18}}'''Maximum Velocity Bonus''' and {{sk|Navigation|icon=yes}} bonuses from other {{icon|velocity|18}}'''Velocity Modifier''' bonuses such as propulsion upgrades, you can greatly improve transparency by rewriting the formula.

To make this clearer, you can combine this formula with the regular velocity formula and turn it into two sections; one for your maximum velocity without your propulsion module turned on and one for when you turn on the propulsion module, since the '''Thrust / Mass''' part of the formula isn't relevant when your propulsion module is turned off. Since the game also separates and stacks independently the propulsion {{icon|velocity|18}}'''Maximum Velocity Bonus''' and {{sk|Navigation|icon=yes}} bonuses from other {{icon|velocity|18}}'''Velocity Modifier''' bonuses such as propulsion upgrades, you can greatly improve transparency by rewriting the formula.

The '''show info''' of a propulsion module will normally show the raw propulsion bonus, for example +500% for a microwarpdrive, but when fitted it will multiply with skills and show, for example +625% for someone with {{sk|Navigation|V|icon=yes}} trained. This means that the skill is accounted for twice, first for your general {{icon|velocity|18}}'''Velocity Modifier''' bonus and again by augmenting the {{icon|velocity|18}}'''Maximum Velocity Bonus''' from propulsion modules.

Here's an example of a ship without a propulsion module~~, so the formula for '''Thrust / Mass''' can be ignored~~:

Here's an example of a ship without a propulsion module:

{{example|The {{sh|Heron}} has a base speed of 340 m/sec. This is then further improved by your {{sk|Navigation|icon=yes}} skill, for a high-skilled player that means +25% more speed and a total speed of 425 m/sec. If you were to put on some {{co|wheat|Nanofiber Internal Structure I}} modules on there, two to be exact, you'll get an additional +7.75% bonus for the first one and then +6.73568% for the second one (~86,9% effective due to [[stacking penalties]]) resulting in a new speed of 340 {{co|grey|(base)}} * 1.25 {{co|grey|(skill)}} * 1.0775 * 1.0673568 {{co|grey|(modules)}} which rounds up to 488.7827 m/sec.~~~~}}

Here's an example (with rounded numbers) how things change when adding a propulsion module:

The propulsion bonus ~~then~~ then modified by the 1,500,000N thrust and the base mass of 1,150,000 kg for the ship as well as the +500,000 kg the propulsion module itself adds (total mass is 1,650,000 kg). The old calculation for your maximum velocity before turning on your propulsion module is the same 340 {{co|grey|(base)}} * 1.25 {{co|grey|(skill)}} * 1.0775 * 1.0673568 {{co|grey|(modules)}} which rounds up to 488.7827 m/sec.
