The max velocity bonus listed in module info is only one factor in actual velocity increase. The maximum velocity of a ship using a propulsion module is | The max velocity bonus listed in module info is only one factor in actual velocity increase.

V_max = V_base × V_bonus × ( Thrust / mass ) | V_max = V_base × ( 1 + V_bonus × ( Thrust / mass )) | ||
In practice that last thrust/mass term is almost equal to one when using properly sized propulsion module and the new maximum velocity is just base velocity multiplied by velocity bonus of propulsion module. | In practice that last thrust/mass term is almost equal to one when using properly sized propulsion module and the new maximum velocity is just base velocity multiplied by velocity bonus of propulsion module. | ||
