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:

Specifications

Class	Rating	Mass (T)	Integrity	Power Draw (MW)	Optimal Hull Mass	Maximum Hull Mass	Value (CR)
2	A	2.50	40	4.00	60.00	120.00	1,610,079
3	A	5.00	55	5.00	90.00	200.00	5,103,952

Purchase Locations

Enhanced Performance Thrusters can be purchased at five locations, all of which are Engineer Workshops with access requirements:

Abel Laboratory, Arque (Ishmael Palin)
Cinder Dock, Shenve (Chloe Sedesi)
Farseer Inc., Deciat (Felicity Farseer)
Long Sight Base, Khun (Elvira Martuuk)
The Brig, Luchtaine (Mel Brandon)

+'''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. It's offered as a replacement to normal [[thrusters]] and available for purchase at ''Farseer Inc.'' in Deciat and ''Palin Research Centre'' in Maia. Enhanced thrusters are available only in 2A and 3A variants, thus limiting the amount of ships they can be installed onto. On a sufficiently lightweight ship they result in about 40% speed increase: fitted with enhanced thrusters, Imperial Eagle is capable of boosting to 638 m/s!

+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.

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.
-Compared to normal A-rated thrusters, enhanced version has the same weight, lower integrity, much higher power draw, higher minimum and maximum supported hull masses, however the optimal mass limit is significantly lower, meaning any considerable speed increase can be achieved only on a stripped down version of the ship.
+As of 2025-04-29, the following ships' thruster slot has a maximum size with an available Enhanced Performance Thruster:

-Mick Evens stated that 2A enhanced thrusters use exactly these values:
- LinearAccelMassCurve
- 	MinimumMass 50
- 	OptimisedMass 60
- 	MaximumMass 120
- 	MinimumMult 0.9
- 	OptimalMult 1.1
- 	MaximumMult 1.2
- LinearSpeedMassCurve
- 	MinimumMass 50
- 	OptimisedMass 60
- 	MaximumMass 120
- 	MinimumMult 0.9
- 	OptimalMult 1.25
- 	MaximumMult 1.6
- AngularSpeedMassCurve
- 	MinimumMass 50
- 	OptimisedMass 60
- 	MaximumMass 120
- 	MinimumMult 0.9
- 	OptimalMult 1.1
- 	MaximumMult 1.3
-Meaning that they add a lot more speed than they do acceleration or turn rate.[[File:Imperial Eagle running EPT|thumb|center|335 px|Imperial Eagle running EPT]]
