Emergency Burn

Briefly boost burn level at the cost of fuel and combat readiness.

Available by default

Notes

• Increases sensor profile and reduces range.

• Disabled if any ships in fleet have insufficient CR. Commonly because they are mothballed or in a big fleet that has suffered a hyperspace storm strike.

• Costs 25% of fleet deployment costs per use and prevents CR recovery.

• Used for a brief burst of speed for escape or pursuit of enemy fleets.

• Unique & powerful uses near movement hampering terrain as Emergency Burn completely ignores most terrain movement modifiers. This is of particular use when navigating close to a sun's corona, pushing through a pulsar beam or hyperspace storms, and escaping the perils of a Black Hole's event horizon.

• Containment Procedures negates the CR reduction (and by extension, the supply cost), but not the fuel cost associated with activation.
