{{Quote|Enhanced performance normal-space propulsion system.|In-Game Description}}


'''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 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.


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 per the thread
The most important values concerning top Speed are the multipliers:


☀https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread.php/272013-Thruster-Speed-Formula-Need-some-data-to-refine-please
min./opt./max.(%): 96/100/116 non-enhanced
 
min./opt./max.(%):  90/115/137 enhanced
 
These apply to both classes.


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]]
