Ship Speeds
« on: March 03, 2012, 08:51:46 AM »

Hi
Still a noob to starfarer, but i was playing with my falcon cruiser and it said it was supercharged. I know this increased the speed but i was wandering what the criteria were for this to happen.
Thanks

Supercharged actually doesn't increase your speed, it increases the dmg of energy weapons

but you do get a speed boost called "Engine Boost" when you have 0 flux and your shield is not in use
then you get 50 to topspeed

Thanks, but I was pretty sure I was doing 105, when usually I could only get 80...
