Increases the maximum burn level by 2.

OP cost: 8/16/24/40

S-mod: Increases maximum burn level by a further +1.

Notes

  • Built into the Pirate Falcon, which then has burn speed 11 (9 base burn + 2 burn from Augmented Drive Field which is applied after the double burn speed effect of sustained burn to reach exactly burn 20).
  • Available as a learnable modular hullmod
  • Normal maximum burn speed is capped at burn speed past 20 (Hyperspace storms can increase the burn level to 30. Slipstreams can increase burn level to 40.)
  • Having at least one ship with equal or higher burn speeds allows forcing engagements on enemy fleets who can otherwise never fight if they don't want to
  • Applies after the x2 bonus from Sustained Burn - so if your lowest speed ship is 8, then your speed when in Sustained Burn will be 18.

This hullmod is a Logistics Hullmod. It impacts campaign layer fleet stats and can only be installed while at a dock. It can be removed at any time. Ships are limited to 2 such logistics hullmods at any one time. (S-mods do not count toward this 2 limit)
