Just a quick query - I've installed Military Injectors into my starting Cobra III and whilst wiki info suggests an increased top-end speed and range, I don't believe I'm seeing either.
What do the improvements apply to? Am I missing/not seeing a small decrease in fuel use?

Re: Military Injectors
The [wiki]Military_Fuel_Injectors_OXP[/wiki] page does not say this, just the OXP list said but I fixed it now, thanks. Based on the js script this give back some fuel only: 0.1ly at every 8. second of injector usage.Hullblazer wrote:wiki info suggests an increased top-end speed

Re: Military Injectors
That makes sense, thank you. Much happier now I understand, at that rate it seems realistic and worth the cost over the long term gain.Norby wrote:The [wiki]Military_Fuel_Injectors_OXP[/wiki] page does not say this, just the OXP list said but I fixed it now, thanks.

Re: Military Injectors
There was a time when it did.. but there were some unexpected side-effects which caused some strange ship behaviours in use, so the velocity boost was removed. You can read about it here, if you're interested.Hullblazer wrote:wiki info suggests an increased top-end speed

You can see the fuel bar go up a little at times, watching carefully. (Of course you don't gain any fuel still.)

Re: Military Injectors
That's the only way it could simulate being slightly more fuel-efficient than regular injectors.. the handwavium is that unburnt fuel gets recovered and returned to the tanks.Anonymissimus wrote:You can see the fuel bar go up a little at times, watching carefully.

ship.injectorBurnRate and ship.injectorSpeedFactor are available it might be worth rewriting it. This OXP was one of the ones I had in mind when making various ship properties writable for 1.82![[EliteWiki]](/images/elitewikismall.png){kind=small}

Re: Military Injectors
Ah.
So military injectors are back on the menu. I had some of they 'funny' little unexpected effects with the earlier model.
Nice to hear, I'll be looking out for them.
Thank you
