Afterburner

Engine Upgrade 1

An Afterburner or Afterburners or afterburners is a type of enhancement that can be installed on spacecraft to add the ability to initiate bursts of increased speed. Afterburners are capable of doubling a ship's speed. They draw from a ship's engines and can sustain the higher speed as long as power is available. They are available for sale to privateers at ship dealers. Gabriel Quentin wrote about afterburners in GEMINI SECTOR: AN OVERVIEW, recommending that spacecraft owners buy them.

Wing Commander Privateer Player's Guide

Afterburner

Afterburners more than double your speed and can mean the difference between life and death in asteroid fields and combat. As they are relatively inexpensive, I highly recommend buying afterburners, especially if you are flying one of Gemini’s slower ships.
