The price of the overtune will increase each time you do it on the ship and there can beside effects. You can also increase your rudders as well the make a ship more manovurable.
You can only overtune your current ship, you do this by looking on the BBS for any of the overtune options where a mechanic will overtune your ship.
Once acception the installation will be immediate and you will be notified.

4.1. Using Shield Energy
When traveling at speeds way beyond whats normally possible it can be a big drain on the ships power core. To combat this, the ship will divert your power to maintain shields into the engines. This of course will make your ship more vunrelable as your shields will contantly decrease.
4.2. Hull Damages when Travelling
When you traveling at high speed and u've used up your shields, you run the risk of getting damages to your hull. You hull will be fine as long as your shields are up but once they fail you run the risk of permanat damage.
4.3. Random Ship damages
The mechanics sometimes will make mistakes when trying to overtune your ship and you might end up worse of than before. Most of the time you will find that the overtune goes well and as expected but it can cause problems. These problems include:
- The ship doesn't increase in speed, so you just lose the money you spent
- The ships engine could be damaged actually decreases the speed of your ship instead of increasing it
- Your ships hull might get damaged costing you extra to repair it
- Your equipment could be damaged or destroyed by the process
- Your goods in the cargo bay could be permantly damaged and lost.
