This mod requires Vehicle Framework. It works for all VF vehicles as well as Seamoth / Prawn.
Introducing the Impulse Speed Booster, the ultimate upgrade for navigators and thrill-seekers alike. This module is a combination of propulsion engineering and energy management, designed to give your sub a momentary yet substantial increase in velocity in the direction of travel. Upon activation, the module discharges a condensed energy burst, allowing for rapid maneuvering and evasive action. Ideal for dodging unexpected hazards or swiftly covering distances, it's an essential module for those who like to live on the edge yet retreat in a blink. Advanced in design yet intuitive in use, the Impulse Speed Booster is your go-to for when speed is of the essence.

How to use:
