# Fleet management:
tip "parked"
`(parked)`
# Outfit and ship attributes:
tip "acceleration:"
`How quickly this ship gains speed. The higher a ship's mass (including the mass of any cargo or fighters it is carrying), the slower it accelerates.`
tip "acceleration multiplier:"
`Modifies the ship's acceleration by the given factor.`
tip "active cooling:"
`Cooling provided per second when running at full strength. Active cooling requires energy, but if your heat level is low it runs at a lower cooling rate and lower energy draw. The amount of cooling is proportional to the temperature of your ship, reaching the full level only if you are about to overheat.`
tip "afterburner energy:"
`Energy consumed per second when firing this afterburner.`
tip "afterburner shields:"
`Shield damage dealt to the ship per second when firing this afterburner.`
tip "afterburner hull:"
`Hull damage dealt to the ship per second when firing this afterburner.`
tip "afterburner fuel:"
`Fuel consumed per second when firing this afterburner.`
tip "afterburner discharge:"
`Accumulated shield discharging per second when firing this afterburner.`
tip "afterburner corrosion:"
`Accumulated hull corrosion per second when firing this afterburner.`
tip "afterburner ion:"
`Accumulated ionization per second when firing this afterburner.`
tip "afterburner scramble:"
`Accumulated scrambling per second when firing this afterburner.`
tip "afterburner leakage:"
`Accumulated leaking fuel per second when firing this afterburner.`
tip "afterburner burn:"
`Accumulated exothermic interactions per second when firing this afterburner.`
tip "afterburner slowing:"
`Accumulated engine interference per second when firing this afterburner.`
tip "afterburner disruption:"
`Accumulated shield interference per second when firing this afterburner.`
tip "afterburner heat:"
`Heat created per second when firing this afterburner.`
tip "afterburner thrust:"
`Thrust produced by this afterburner.`
tip "asteroid scan power:"
`Allows scanning of asteroids. The range of this asteroid scanner is proportional to the square root of this value.`
tip "atmosphere scan:"
`This type of scanning cannot be performed by your ship, but this outfit might be useful for certain missions.`
tip "automaton:"
`A ship with this attribute does not need any crew to operate, even if it has outfits that normally require additional crew. However, you cannot use it as your flagship in this state.`
tip "bunks:"
`The number of people (passengers or crew) your ship can hold.`
tip "burn protection:"
`Protection provided against burn damage. If you add more than one outfit with this attribute, each additional one is less effective: a total value of 1 results in a 1 percent reduction in burn damage, while a total value of 11 only results in a 10 percent reduction.`
tip "burn resistance:"
`Burn damage resisted per second.`
tip "burn resistance energy:"
`Energy consumed per second when resisting burn damage.`
tip "burn resistance fuel:"
`Fuel consumed per second when resisting burn damage.`
tip "burn resistance heat:"
`Heat generated per second when resisting burn damage.`
tip "capture attack:"
`Increases the "strength" of one crew member when attacking another ship to capture it. Each crew member can only wield one weapon at a time, but they will use whichever weapons provide the highest power.`
tip "capture defense:"
`Increases the "strength" of one crew member when defending against an attempt to capture this ship. Each crew member can only wield one weapon at a time, but they will use whichever weapons provide the highest power.`
tip "cargo:"
`Tons of cargo this ship is carrying right now, out of its maximum.`
tip "cargo scan:"
`Allows scanning of your target ship's cargo from up to this distance away.`
tip "cargo scan power:"
`Allows scanning of your target ship's cargo. The range of this cargo scanner is proportional to the square root of this value.`
tip "cargo scan speed:"
`Determines how long it takes to perform a cargo scan. A higher value will correspond to a quicker scan.`
tip "cargo scan efficiency:"
`The maximum speed of this cargo scanner is proportional to the square root of this value. The observed scan speed will be impacted by multiple factors. Targets which are farther away or have a larger cargo hold will take longer to scan.`
tip "cargo scan opacity:"
`Increases the time required for other ships to perform a cargo scan of this ship. A value of one has the same influence on the time taken as adding one more ton of cargo space to scan.`
tip "cargo space:"
`Tons of cargo (commodities, mission cargo, and plundered outfits) this ship can carry.`
tip "cargo space needed:"
