DESCRIPTION
Ibuta Maneuvering Thrusters are comprised of three components. The first and most obvious is the installation of nearly double the normal amount of maneuvering thrusters on the exterior of the ship in question. The second component is the installation of additional power conduits leading from the core of the ship to the numerous additional thrusters scattered throughout the ship. The final component is a dedicated core processor with a specialized Astrophysics Program installed near the bridge of the ship. The processor is solely dedicated to optimizing the firing pattern of the various thrusters to achieve maximum maneuverability.
While the Ibuta is capable of drastically improving the maneuverability of a starship, it does come at a cost. The system itself tends to draw quite a bit of power from the primary reactor. When activated, the installed ship suffers a 15% power drop. This reduction in power weakens either the weaponry or the shielding or both for the duration that the maneuvering thrusters are active and persists for 45 seconds after the Maneuvering Thrusters have been deactivated.
