'''Afterburners''' are a way to trade off capacitor energy in your ship that allows it to gain a speed advantage. These advantages are based on what type of afterburner you are using and the type of ship you are flying. Certain ships require certain size afterburner to function properly. Using an undersized afterburner on a larger ship will cause the speed boost to become much smaller. | |||
