Boost Speed

86.148.126.246: fixed page layout due to previous correction.

'''Boost Speed''' is the speed that a ship travels when the boost function is activated (Default "Tab"). When activating boost the ship's thresher's are pushed past their normal capabilities which provides extra speed and maneuverability. Boost can only be activated in normal space when there is enough energy in the ships Engine capacitor and generates [[heat]] upon activation. Upgrading equipment can allow for more frequent boosts and/or a higher boost speed depending on the module that was upgraded. Currently boost speeds vary from ship to ship and range from 200 m/s to 500 m/s.

Boosting is very useful in combat and when used correctly can provide a significant edge. Activating a boost and quickly turning with Flight Assist Off can allow a pilot to change the direction they're facing. Spamming boost can allow a player to move faster than usual and possibly outrun attackers or catch up with prey - this tactic works better with some ships more than others. For example while the [[Viper]] has the fastest normal speed; the [[Cobra]] can move faster when constantly activating boost.

==Notes==
* Boost cannot be activated while the [[Landing Gear]] or [[Cargo Scoop]] is deployed.

Military Grade Composite

86.148.22.245: /* Known Locations */ Added Bolg as known location

[[File:MilitaryGradeComposite.jpg|thumb|200px|Military Grade Composite]]

Military Grade Composite is a reinforcement material for the ship's hull. It is designed to give better protection than [[Lightweight Alloys]] and [[Reinforced Alloys]] against all projectile and energy weapons. This is not a specialized composite in the way that [[Mirrored Surface Composite]] and [[Reactive Surface Composite]] is. Military Grade Composite offers the best all-round protection of any reinforcement material.

==Specifications==

As with all armor the price and weight of Military Grade scales with the size of the ship. However it is almost always twice the price and weight of Reinforced Alloys.
