Afterburners take up a medium power slot on your ship fitting.

There are different sizes of Afterburner based on basic ship hull size. A rough guide :

• 1MN = Frigate size
• 10MN = Cruiser/Battle Cruiser
• 100MN = Battleship+

Drawbacks

• Extra capacitor consumption as it cycles

• Longer ship alignment speeds whilst it is active.

• Afterburners don't provide anywhere near as much of a speed boost as a Microwarpdrive, (roughly 100% boost rather than 500% depending on variations) but come with less penalties.

Advantages vs. a Microwarpdrive

• Considerably less skill and fitting requirements

• They can still be used in Mission deadspaces that interfere with warp fields.

• They don't have a penalty to Capacitor size

• They don't have a penalty to ship signature size whilst active.
