Propulsion
Give a skilled technician a few hours with your engine and a wrench, and he can work miracles. By tweaking the fuel flow to the engine core, this upgrade actually increases your ship's available acceleration. (Accel: +150) Mass: -
Various add-on devices have been manufactured with the intent of increasing a ship's speed, but none have been as effective as this simple tune-up. A talented mechanic who performs this operation on your ship's propulsion system can boost your ship's top speed by 150 AU/h. (Speed: +150 AU/h.) Mass: -
Those looking for a little extra maneuverability should look into this upgrade. Gifted shipwrights refit your vessel with improved, platinum-plated ducting between the engine core and the reaction control systems, resulting in increased plasma flow. This modification can increase your ship's turn rate by 30°/sec. (Turn: +30°) Mass: -
This fuel tank attaches to the hull of your ship and increases your fuel capacity by 100 units, enough for one additional hyperspace jump before refuelling. (Fuel: + 100u (1 jump)) Mass: 5 tons
No privateer should be without this handy add-on. By dumping raw fuel directly into your engine's exhaust stream, the afterburner dramatically increases both your thrust and your top speed for short periods of time. However, it consumes fuel at a prodigious rate. Mass: 5 tons
The Meizner ramscoop uses high-energy magnetoscopic fields to extract charged hydrogen ions from the solar wind. It can slowly regenerate your fuel supply while in flight. (Fuel: +0.375u/sec) Mass: 5 tons
This handy device automatically contacts spaceport computers and arranges for them to refuel your ship, saving you the worry. Of course, it still costs the same to top off your tanks. Mass: -
