== Propulsion Methods ==

Sub-light propulsion is classed as any movement which does not utilize a an [[FTL]] [[Warp Tunnel|warp tunnel]], including Afterburner and MicroWarpdrive usage.

Line 71:

Ship impulse maneuvering systems include both the ships drive used to maneuver in normal space.

Each ~~factions~~ ships typically use one of four propulsion methods, which have generally the same propulsion 'strength', although this does effect the color of the engine exhaust seen. ~~While there~~ are a number of exceptions (pirate-constructed ships, some joint-ventures and a number of [[Tech 2]] ships).

=== Afterburner ===

While the modules are named [~~http://wiki.eveuniversity.org/~~Afterburner_Details Afterburners] after the systems used on atmospheric vehicles to burn unspent fuel in the exhaust of a jet engine, and they have a similar effect, this is somewhat of a misnomer.

While the modules are named [[Afterburner_Details|Afterburners]] after the systems used on atmospheric vehicles to burn unspent fuel in the exhaust of a jet engine, and they have a similar effect, this is somewhat of a misnomer.

In effect, the modules in question actually expend energy from the ships power core to increase the propulsion efficiency, effectively running the ships impulse drive systems at greater than normal levels. In order to do this, the magnetic containment of the engine must be reinforced significantly, power input to the the deflector field must be substantially increased, as well as the structural integrity of the ships hull itself to prevent catastrophic damage to the emitter mounts.

Line 100:

This has the effect of significantly increasing the maximum velocity of the ship, while also increasing the effective mass considerably, making turns much slower and slowing acceleration.

While a module of this type can be used indefinitely, when ~~travelling~~ at greater than normal velocity, the fuel scoop cannot be used to replenish the reserves, which will typically expire after approximately 24 hours, at which point the vessel would then need to slow to normal impulse speeds.
