Damn, OWK! That was my line! Cool

Anyway - every booster type - even the small ones and starting stuff - is usefull. Just remember to split them off as you go, according to the level of fuel consumed. Send them back to the base. There's no point in travelling around with deadweight.

Another use of boosters is as midway refeulingpoints. This is especially usefull if you have the FM. Ie. at a planet or some other point on the way to a far point, set two booster to alternate going back and forth to the refueling point and something x lightyears out. Where x is the optimum fuel generating capacity for the engine. Send convoys to rendezvous and give them the fuel, letting the boosters continue on their looped task.
