Mobile ship that increases the speed of all friendly non-minor-faction ships in the current system by a small amount. This effect is cumulative when multiple speed boosters are present. |

How to use in your fleet
For a support ship, Speed Boosters are very keen to suicide themselves at maximum speed into the enemy on FRD-mode. Needless to say, never let this happen by sub-grouping the boosters with other things you'll never want to FRD (perhaps a Mobile Repair Station?). Using Speed Boosters effectively requires some coordination and a non-attacking control group as mentioned above. A full cap will reliably turn all of your low-speed juggernauts into high-speed killing machines. Just remember to keep the boosters at the back of the fleet where-ever you go, so that they will shepherd the last offensive ship out of each wormhole.
Alternatively, if you always group-move a long-ranged fleet (e.g. Missile Frigate+Plasma Siege Starship combo), adding Speed Boosters to that group will make kiting almost trivial. NB: They cannot boost Spirecraft.
