Booster Tank for Engines (Nitro/module)
Not Enough Votes
A tank or nitro module that boosts acceleration of your engines temporarily.
- A tank you connect to your engine systems.
- Potentially with placement rules where it can only be placed adjacent to hydrogen tanks or right before a hydrogen thruster.
- The tank will have specialized fuel that will provide a boost to your engines when you give the input to do so — so it can run out of fuel.
- There could be an ion engine variant that is called a power capacitor perhaps.
A sudden boost in speed makes the speed/manoeuvrability part of space battle, more dynamic so booster tanks/engines would be a good way to add depth to space battle by helping ships evade at the right second, or get in position more quickly for a counter attack.

Will using the booster cause a small amount of damage to the thruster?

yah... Using fluorine in an oxygen-hydrogen engine instead of oxygen will increase engine performance by about 20% (Isp 450s vs 540s).
Similarly, the use of alkali metals - sodium (Na), potassium (K), rubidium (Rb) and cesium (Cs) - can increase the performance of an ion engine by 10-40%.
