Afterburner
By burning four times as much fuel the speed of this ship doubles. The ship can maintain this for up to twelve hours providing that there are 2 trained crew on each engine monitoring it and ensuring that they don’t overheat. Each crew member must be replaced by a fully rested crew member every 4 hours. After using this feature the speed of the ship becomes zero for 12 hours while the engines cool off.
For each destroyed engine, the ship loses 20ft of speed. If two or more engines are destroyed, the ship cannot use the afterburner feature.
Actions
On its turn, the ship can move using its engine. The vehicle can only be turned if a crew member is manning the helm.
