Engine boost is a very powerful, energy efficient method of temporarily increasing your ship's speed by a large degree. Once researched, the ability will become readily available for usage on navigation for a cost of 3000 energy from your [[Battlecruiser]]'s capacitor, lasting for 10 seconds with a 40 second cooldown. While active, your battlecruiser will accelerate as an exceedingly fast rate up to a speed of 60.8m/s in addition to your ships speed based on engine output. This also works in accordance with [[Enhanced Stabilisers]], which will cause engine boost to raise your speed by an entire 81m/s if your [[Enhanced Stabilisers|Stabilisers]] are maxed. As such, engine boost easily becomes a powerful asset for your [[Battlecruiser]]'s movement, especially since it can be controlled from the [[Navigation Console]].

The iron curtain ability is activated from the [[Science Console|science console]]. Iron curtain is a highly necessary method of hull tanking. While it does not make the [[Battlecruiser]] invulnerable, it comes quite close by reducing all damage taken by 90%. Furthermore, the damage taken becomes energy.

This allows you to shrug off attacks while recuperating energy while the opponent not only expends energy in engines, but also in weapons. However, the cooldown of Iron Curtain is long, meaning that a smart enemy will simply cease fire while the ability is active. As such, shield tanking is still primarily used since upgrades like [[Hardened Shields]] are far superior at soaking up damage.

Description Boosts engines give Battlecruiser great speed.

The iron curtain ability is activated from the science console. Iron curtain is a highly necessary method of hull tanking. While it does not make the Battlecruiser invulnerable, it comes quite close by reducing all damage taken by 90%. Furthermore, the damage taken becomes energy. This ability comes into greatest use when fleeing from the enemy, since most energy will be placed into engines rather than shields. This allows you to shrug off attacks while recuperating energy while the opponent not only expends energy in engines, but also in weapons. However, the cooldown of Iron Curtain is long, meaning that a smart enemy will simply cease fire while the ability is active. As such, shield tanking is still primarily used since upgrades like Hardened Shields are far superior at soaking up damage.
