The Cyclotron Boost briefly increases the top speed of a travelling ship.

Function[]

Boosters are activated by pressing an upwards-turned fast-forward button at the bottom of the HUD. After the boost has been used, a certain amount of time must pass before it can be used again, indicated by the button fading noticeably.

The performance of a booster depends on three factors: How much it increases a ship's speed, how long it lasts, and how long it must rest before it its used again. If a pilot has enough money

Keith normally flies his ships around 450 km/h, unless he is travelling between planets or star systems. With the Linear Boost installed, he can increase its top speed to 810 km/h for 4.4 seconds, but must then rest for 10 seconds before using it again.

In the heat of combat, this boost can escape a tight clump of enemies chasing you. And while travelling across the emptiness of space--or if foolish enough to approach a firefight--using this booster can help you reach your intended destination just a little faster than cheaper boosters.
