=== Linked Cores ===

Multiple charged warp cores aboard the same ship (such as ships which are located in a maintenance bay, or otherwise being transported while packaged) must have their cores linked to the host ship otherwise they would generate differing stresses when entering warp, potentially leading to a catastrophic failure. Linking the cores of the guest ships to the host ship negates this issue, however the ~~coares about~~ these ships are not used to generate or augment the field of the host ship. This is not a problem for ships which have been packaged as their cores are discharged.

=== MicroWarp Drive ===

MicroWarp drives are a recent development, and allow the ship to utilize the warp core along with significant structural reinforcement to massively increase the top speed of a ship. This works by expanding a very weak hyperspace field around the ship, while attuning the core thousands of times per second to a point directly in front of the ship, effectively augmenting the ships normal drive systems. However, doing this requires a significant proportion of the capacitor be reserved for the field generation, and the constant attuning of the core results in the ships effective signature radius to increase massively, while weakening armor and shields, making the ship easier to target and hit harder.
