escape from dangerous enemeys" or something similar is said on the loading screens. Well that may have been true before the patch but now it is not. I can't even use boosters to escape from the enemies I am fighting in my missions (Doing Tier 4 missions have a 79.0 Speed Engine in an X-Wing goes at 75.0 with S-Foils closed and 101.2 with booster) never mind the higher tier ships which I would have to run from.
"Boosters now a great way to take up mass and energy which could be used on other components!"
Right now I am thinking of dumping my booster and maybe putting in a missile launcher or maybe a 3rd blaster. Would prove more usefull than a booster as they seem quite pointless now

I've got a RE'd engine with a top speed of 96.5.
That with boosters and E-thrust (privateer only) allows me to get away with ease.. or at least get enough distance to start my hyper jump.

Boosters are good for far more than that, actually, and I find myself using them in dogfights to adjust my ranges and arcs quite a bit. That being said, if you REALLY need to escape from enemies, and you are flying an X-Wing, hit your IFF Scramble first.
