Aren't these things great for taking advantage of superior range weapons? I was thinking: if a ship were overloaded with overthrusters so that it had movement 2.5 but with two extra overthrusters added anyway (so without the battle movement limitation, battle speed would be 3.5), would the energy dampener reduce the speed to 1.5, or would the extra overthrusters keep it at 2.5?


I would say it reduces the speed to 1.5, but never tested it ...
Slightly related: the WM +0.5 gets added first and than the ED reduces the speed. That means that a WM ship with movement of 2 gets +0.5 so 2.5 in total and when it gets into battle it becomes 1.5, no difference here in what comes first but if you design a 2.5 WM ship that means the +0.5 is lost (can't have 3) and than it gets reduced to 1.5 just the same ... Well I think that also answers your OT question too Grin (anyone noticed the new "Grin"!!)
