good afternoon commanders :lol:

i was wondering if ,when injectors are used is the speed relative to the ship your in , yes bit of a geeky question but im twiddling my thumbs with a fuel leak and god knows how many parsecs to the station :evil:

Are you on 1.73? Just ramp time acceleration up to something like x8 or x16 and you'll get there before you know it.

A slow ship wont travel as fast as a faster ship when using injectors

Only if it's a very slow ship and a very fast ship.

As a ballpark figure, fuel injectors increase max speed by about x7 or so.

Or, for the more technically-minded engineering types, a factor of exactly 7. :-)

Pause the game, then use your left/right arrow keys to slow down/speed up time... :D

(handy hint for the day; Bullet time (slowed way down) makes it lots easier to get awesome screenshots!)
