'''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. as of Beta 2.1. 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 alternative normal-space ship propulsion systems.

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. | 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. | ||
