A module working like NOS for a car

[han]

I was thinking that adding a module that boosts your speed a lot for a few seconds could be a cool module to have. Something working like nitrous boost for a car. Could be a helpful and fun escape tool for traders, smaller ships or just for people who likes to race.

700m/s not enough?

You mean like the boost button?

hehe kinda, but was more thinking like a tank you need to fill up at stations that has a button you can hold in until the tank is empty so it gives a lot more speed for a longer time than normal boosting

Could be cool new fuel mechanic and also allow players to synthesize "boost" fuel.

There were multiple posts about this a while back, this idea could also tie into them. That thread was more about changing the current boost function to allow a longer boost more like an afterburner (use fuel faster to boost, etc.) instead of "boost button spamming" needed when all pips are to engines and player just wants to hold down on the afterburner.
