| − | This page lists abbreviations and terms commonly used in EVE Online, aimed at new players and those unfamiliar with the terminology. Most of the terms listed here are universal across all of EVE players, but some may be relatively specialized to EVE University and may mean something slightly different to other corporations. If any of the terminology is unclear be sure to ask in-game or on the forums for more clarification.
| + | ==Afterburners and microwarpdrives== |
| | + | '''Afterburners''' (AB) and '''Microwarpdrives''' (MWD) are the most commonly used propulsion modules. Afterburners increase the ship's maximum speed by around 150%, while Microwarpdrives increase it by around 500%. Compared with Afterburners, Microwarpdrives use more capacitor energy, reduce the ship's total capacitor capacity, are shut down by [[scram|warp scramblers]], inflates the ship's signature and are generally harder to fit. |

| − | == # == | + | ==== Oversized afterburners ==== |
| − | {|
| + | It is possible to fit ships with oversized afterburners: 10MN on frigate/destroyer or 100MN on cruiser/battlecruiser. The high fitting requirement of larger afterburner usually makes this harder to do. In this case the full maximum velocity formula needs to be used. |

| | + | The maximum velocity bonus of a propulsion module is as follows: |
| | + | {{code|V<sub>propulsionbonus</sub> = V<sub>base</sub> × V<sub>bonus</sub> × ( Thrust / Mass )}} |
| | + | To make this clearer, you can combine this formula with the regular velocity formula and turn it into two sections; one for your maximum velocity without your propulsion module turned on and one for when you turn on the propulsion module, since the '''Thrust / Mass''' part of the formula isn't relevant when your propulsion module is turned off. Since the game also separates and stacks independently the propulsion {{icon|velocity|18}}'''Maximum Velocity Bonus''' and {{sk|Navigation|icon=yes}} bonuses from other {{icon|velocity|18}}'''Velocity Modifier''' bonuses such as propulsion upgrades, you can greatly improve transparency by rewriting the formula. |

| | + | The '''show info''' of a propulsion module will normally show the raw propulsion bonus, for example +500% for a microwarpdrive, but when fitted it will multiply with skills and show, for example +625% for someone with {{sk|Navigation|V|icon=yes}} trained. This means that the skill is accounted for twice, first for your general {{icon|velocity|18}}'''Velocity Modifier''' bonus and again by augmenting the {{icon|velocity|18}}'''Maximum Velocity Bonus''' from propulsion modules. |

| + | {{example|Now add a {{co|wheat|50MN Microwarpdrive I}} to the above mentioned {{sh|Heron}}, which has a +500% maximum velocity bonus influenced by the {{sk|Navigation|icon=yes}}, making it a +625% bonus thanks to the +25% bonus from the skill. The propulsion bonus is then modified by the 1,500,000N thrust and the base mass of 1,150,000 kg for the ship as well as the +500,000 kg the propulsion module itself adds when turned on (total mass is 1,650,000 kg). The old calculation for your maximum velocity before turning on your propulsion module is the same 340 {{co|grey|(base)}} * 1.25 {{co|grey|(skill)}} * 1.0775 * 1.0673568 {{co|grey|(modules)}} which rounds up to 488.7827 m/sec. For the actual propulsion modifier (accounting for the bonus modified by thrust and mass) you get 1 + (5 {{co|grey|(base)}} * 1.25 {{co|grey|(skill)}} * 1500000 {{co|grey|(thrust)}} / 1650000 {{co|grey|(mass)}}) that's 6,681818 resulting in a new maximum speed of 488.7827 * 6.681818 which rounds up to 3,265.9570 m/sec.}} |
