=== Dualprop Fitting === | |||
A ship may only have one afterburner and/or microwarpdrive running at a time. However, it is possible, and commonly done on certain ships, to fit both an afterburner ''and'' a microwarpdrive onto one ship, to exploit both the evasive abilities of an AB and the range control of an MWD. This fitting decision does mean sacrificing a Mid slot for the second module, but can be deemed worth it if, based on the ship's intended combat style and targets, the afterburner evasion is desirable enough. Such fits are sometimes described as "60MN" (a cruiser or battlecruiser featuring both a 50MN MWD and a 10MN AB). | |||
