---Please Do Not Delete--- 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.
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.
