External Fuel Tanks Cert Icon

External Fuel Tanks are wing mount improvements available to empire specific fighters.

External fuel tanks allow the pilot to augment the tank size and/or replenishment rate of the fighter's afterburners. There are three different varieties of external fuel tank, catering either to the fighter's fuel capacity, replenishment rate, or a combination of both.

With no external fuel tanks equipped, a fighter's fuel tanks have a fuel capacity of 275, allowing for approximately 3.6 seconds of afterburning at the base consumption rate of 60 fuel per second following an initial activation cost of 60 fuel. Both values are increased to 75 if the fighter is hovering, decreasing maximum afterburning time to approximately 2.7 seconds.

Fighter fuel tanks replenish at a rate of 17.5 fuel per second, leading to a recharge time of up to 15.7 seconds based on the amount of fuel consumed.

To activate afterburners, press and hold the Afterburner hotkey (⇧ Left Shift by default.)
