Description 

Ever thought of buying a Nova, but decided to buy another M3 because nearly every enemy would be faster than you with poor 160 m/s. Then this new product could be interesting for you. 
It has been developed by Pirates. You want to know what it does, OK: 

- It gives you additional engine power, making your ship considerably faster 
- The increased power can only be achieved through the additional input of energy into the drive. This is not entirely unproblematic and contributes to drive damage, especially in M1, M2 and TL class ships. TS drives, similarly, display symptoms of fatigue. 
- The tuning lasts for a specific maximum time depending on ship class (M3: 80 seconds, M2: 160 sec.) 
- This new power has its costs though, using energy cells over the time or 1 spacefly for the whole duration, maximum e-cell consumption depends on class. The engine will only use e-cells if you have no spaceflies. 
- After the tuning process the engine has to cool down, making the Tuning Unit unavailable for 3 minutes. 
- Cost: about 110000 Credits 

 
Usage

To activate the Unit simply go to the Additional Ship Commands section of the command console and choose "Mk1 Engine Booster ON/OFF" 

Note: Make sure you have a shield activated otherwise tuning won't start, structural integrity would be in danger. There is an emergency shutdown if you open cargo bay during the process (open -> wait for max. 12 seconds)
