The Tech 1 module boosts your speed by 115% (thus it doubles your speed plus another 15%). The Tech 2 version boosts your speed by 135%. Faction and Deadspace variations of this module offer further speed boosts (of 140-160%), but are much more expensive and thus not commonly used. | The Tech 1 module boosts your speed by 115% (thus it doubles your speed plus another 15%).
