However, maintaining this effect for more than a few seconds is incredibly energy intensive, depleting the capacitor of most ships within minutes, and safety guidelines mean that simply having the MicroWarpdrive module fitted to a ship means a significant proportion of the ships power generation systems must be reserved for its usage, effectively reducing the capacitor storage of the vessel.

With the massive expenditure of energy involved, usage of the MicroWarpdrive also massively increases the effective signature radius of any ship using it, making them easier to target, however this is offset by their velocity. Again, like the Afterburner, the MicroWarpdrive cannot run in parallel with the fuel scoop, although this is less of a concern as a vessels capacitor will often be depleted within minutes of activating the module.
