'''Boost speed{{PAGENAME}}''' is the speed that a ship travels when the boost function is activated (Default "Tab"). This acceleratesWhen activating boost the ship's thrusters are pushed past it'stheir normal capabilities which provides extra speed and maneuverability. Boost can only be activated in normal space when there is usefulenough forenergy thatin extrathe bitships ofEngine speedcapacitor and maneuverabilitygenerates when[[heat]] youupon needactivation. it, likeUpgrading whenequipment pursuingcan aallow fleeingfor target,more frequent boosts and/or escapinga higher boost speed depending on the module that was upgraded. Currently boost speeds vary from dangership yourselfto 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.
The maximum boost speed of a ship can only be achieved by pressing the boost button.
==Notes==
Boost speed cannot be engaged until the engine capacitor has enough energy. With upgraded equipment a ship can boost more often and often times reach faster speeds while boosting. Different ships have different maximum boost speeds, currently ranging from 200 to 500 m/s.
* Boost cannot be activated while the [[Landing Gear]] or [[Cargo Hatch]] is deployed.
