Skill: Impulse Expertise
This skill increases the Speed and Turn Rate of your starship. While each Starship has its own base value for each of these. each point of Impulse Expertise skill always provides a bonus of 0.4% to those base values.
Your base speed and turn values are determined by a combination of your ship's impulse modifier, your level, engine power, and the quality of your equipped impulse engines.
Shuttles and other Small Craft gain a smaller benefit from this skill. which changes with level.
- +50 Impulse Expertise - Total Speed and Turn Rate Bonus = +20%
- +35 Impulse Expertise - Total Speed and Turn Rate Bonus = +34%(Improved)
- +15 Impulse Expertise - Total Speed and Turn Rate Bonus = +40%(Advanced)
