Engine pips in supercruise

[NikkiLiz]

Do they affect your supercruising speed? It almost seems like they do, but I can't be sure...

[Harrison]

While I've wondered the same thing, I remain unconvinced. Making changes never seems to have any effect that I can see.

Pretty sure they don't, but I keep pips in engines anyways for the placebo.

And to be prepared to boost away from an interdiction. Once I forgot them in a weapons/systems position, and "no energy for boost" came as a nasty surprise, when I was outrunning a pirate.

your thurster don't technically work in supercruise, it's your fsd that do the thing, take a look in experimental camera and watch your thruster.

so basically no pips in SP don't change a damn

But don't try to disable them, while exploring. It seems thrusters are plugged into the same power outlet with FSD by using a splitter.

In supercruise they only affect the capacitor recharge rate (with a knock-on effect for shield regeneration).

Wish SYS pips increased scan distance.

Still, always keep 3 on sys and 3 on eng just for placebo's sake.

yup don't disable the thruster they are linked with the fsd in supercruise for reason if they are unplugged well prepare for sudden emergency drop
