"This artifact is actually a cooling system that
seems to be designed to attach to the metal layers
of the metal-dielectric-metal capacitors, thus
increasing the conductivity and recharge rate by
3%."
"This device appears to be very similar to PCM-
SB2 (with the exception that it is meant for
capacitors), meaning that it adjusts the voltage
precisely to what is needed by a capacitor for
maximum recharge rate, resulting in a 5%
improvement."
"This artifact is a thermo-electric device that
converts waste heat generated by the electrical
current flowing into a capacitor into more energy,
thus recharging it 8% faster."
"This artifact appears to be a pre-collapse engine
addon that uses a directed force field to isolate the
exhaust ions from the metal walls of the exhaust
nozzle. This increases the thrust of any engine by
approximately 3%, by eliminating the exhaust
energy lost to friction from the nozzle."
"This device is a pre-collapse system that pulses
power to the ionization chamber used in engines to
ionize the exhaust mass. This increases the mass
delivered to the acceleration stage of the engine,
and thus the thrust from the engine goes up by
about 5%. Of course this requires more power, as
there is no free lunch."
