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/Destroyer
  • 10MN = Cruiser/Battle Cruiser, Industrials
  • 100MN = Battleship+

Drawbacks

  • Steady capacitor consumption as it cycles
  • Longer ship alignment speeds whilst it is active (though using for only 1 cycle will actually decrease alignment in all ships with natural or modified aligns greater than the cycle)
  • Afterburners don't provide anywhere near as much of a speed boost as a Microwarpdrive, roughly 100-125% boost rather than 500-625% depending on skills (some modules have a greater innate bonus) but come with less penalties.
  • They add mass to your ship. This is not really noticeable unless you try to fit a bigger afterburner than normal for your ship class, at which point your inertial increase will make your orbits very large (this is to prevent small ships from avoiding MWD penalities while still getting similar speed boosts from bigger drives combined with the tight orbits they normally enjoy)

Advantages vs. a Microwarpdrive

  • Considerably less skill and fitting requirements
  • They can still be used in Mission deadspaces that interfere with warp fields (this is not a big issue anymore, as almost all deadspace areas now allow MWDs)
  • They don't have a penalty to Capacitor size (and thus also GJ/s), and don't use nearly as much capacitor per cycle (higher afterburner skills can allow cap-stable afterburner fits, which are much harder to achieve with MWDs)
  • Warp scramblers will not shut them down as they would a MWD.
