There is a little panel down there by your right leg. Sometimes you gotta give it a good kick - like Fonzi.
What does the warning say? We need more info to go off of than just “a red warning”.
Hit it again?
Sorry.. it says boost failed insufficient energy
You need more pips to your engines.
Or your Power Distributor can't hold enough juice to boost.

Make sure you have pips to engines. You can only boost if your engines bar is most of the way full (about three quarters, I think?)
Oh my God.. how simple a solution that should have been so apparent.. gosh I'm thick most of the time but I surprise myself every now and again..

No, you can boost as long as the energy stored in the ENG capacitor is bigger than the energy needed by the engines for the boost
For example my fully engineered Krait Mk2 can boost multiple times before depleting the energy stored in the ENG capacitor
While my Taxi Dolphin can barely boost once and the capacitor is depleted already
And now imagine one could find the info how much distri power a ship needs for a boost ingame. Wouldn't that be great?
QoL QoL QoL chant with me QoL....
Ah! Thanks, I didn't realise that. I thought it was the same across the board. I'll try to manage the energy better in future, knowing that.
