- Boosts are sometimes referred to as thrusters.
- Boosts cost 15 energy and let Wraiths change their movement without changing their facing angle.

- When boosting the forward thrust of your ship engines is ignored.

Side thrusters (A and D, sometimes called boosts) are a means of quickly moving from side to side, you can use this to dodge or you can use it to accelerate quickly. If you hold down either key or push it consistently you can reach speeds up to 81 meters per second. This allows you to quickly chase a miner who has boosted, to quickly intercept an enemy attacking your miners, or to retreat from a very bad and unsafe situation. Mind your energy each boost you use saps 15 energy.
