| style="background:#333333;" | The microwarpdrive (or MWD) is a small warpdrive capable of giving a significant speed boost to your sub-warp speed. It's an upgraded version of the afterburner, however it comes with several drawbacks. Unlike an afterburner, a microwarpdrive is extremely effective at getting into, or out of, an enemy's range, but is not at all effective at helping evade enemy fire. An active MWD grants a 500% boost to sub-warp speed, but also increases the ship's signature radius by 500%, making it far easier to hit than its speed would imply. MWDs also consume more capacitor to operate, and having an MWD fitted to a ship reduces the ships maximum capacitor capacity (and thus, indirectly, the ship's capacitor regeneration rate).

MWDs also consume more capacitor to operate, and having an MWD fitted to a ship reduces the ships maximum capacitor capacity (and thus, indirectly, the ship's capacitor regeneration rate). As a result of all this, it is often best to use an MWD to get into tackle range of a target, and then deactivate it while in close orbit to avoid being hit.

The Tech 1 module gives a 500% bonus to speed, at the cost of 500% increased signature radius and 25% reduced capacitor capacity. The Tech 2 module gives a 510% boost to speed, but only 20% reduced capacitor capacity. However, the use of Tech 2 MWDs is often frowned upon, in favor of the Quad LiF Restrained variant, which gives a 505% bonus to speed, 20% reduced capacitor capacity, only 450% increased signature radius (mitigating a little of the evasion problem), and consumes less capacitor than the Tech 2 variant.
