Will we be able to purchase afterburners that affect thrusters, as opposed to only a ship's main engines?asked by OddGod

Yeah, of course you're going to be able to purchase afterburners. Now, whether they'll be just on the main engines or they'll be on the side hardpoints, that's still TBD. We want people to be able to fight, but we don't necessarily want somebody to be jerking around the screen everywhere. So it's going to be a game balance issue. It's going to be the way we play it. But you can bet your bippy that some engines will have afterburners and some will not.
