'''Enhanced Performance Thrusters''' are an upgraded variant of [[Thrusters]] that are capable of significantly increasing the speed of smaller [[ships]]. They are offered exclusively at [[Engineers|Engineer Workshops]].


'''Enhanced Performance Thrusters''' are alternative normal-space ship propulsion systems. They're offered as a more powerful replacement to standard thrusters and available for purchase at ''Farseer Inc.'' in Deciat, ''Palin Research Centre'' in Maia and ''Long Sight Base'' in Khun. Enhanced thrusters are available only in classes 2A and 3A,  thus limiting the amount of ships they can be installed onto. On a light ship they may result in more than a  45% increase in top speed.
== Usage ==
Enhanced Performance Thrusters are powerful for their size, and in some cases can result in a 45% increase to a ship's top speed, but they have limited applications because there are only two available classes of the module and both only benefit small ships with lower total mass. Larger ships that attempt to equip the module will only see a decrease in overall speed as the Class 2 and 3-sized modules will be overwhelmed by the greater mass. While some pilots may install Enhanced Performance Thursters in small ships to boost their combat capability, they are also useful in some dedicated racing builds.

Template:Quote Enhanced Performance Thrusters are an upgraded variant of Thrusters that are capable of significantly increasing the speed of smaller ships. They are offered exclusively at Engineer Workshops.

Usage

Enhanced Performance Thrusters are powerful for their size, and in some cases can result in a 45% increase to a ship's top speed, but they have limited applications because there are only two available classes of the module and both only benefit small ships with lower total mass. Larger ships that attempt to equip the module will only see a decrease in overall speed as the Class 2 and 3-sized modules will be overwhelmed by the greater mass. While some pilots may install Enhanced Performance Thursters in small ships to boost their combat capability, they are also useful in some dedicated racing builds.

As of 2025-04-29, the following ships' thruster slot has a maximum size with an available Enhanced Performance Thruster:
