How to use emergency propulsion?
 

My ship ran out of movement so I tried to get some extra movement by using the emergency propulsion component. I had to look around to find the command. I clicked the "Cargo Order" button, then "Use Component", and then selected "Emergency Propulsion" but nothing happened. No extra movement was gained and the component was not destroyed. Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong?

You MUST cancel all orders FIRST, AND you must NOT use more resupply pod than you max movement allows. The last is a bug the first a feature? Oh and for doing this easy when ship is selected simply press the backspace then U key.

one more edit: Also note that 1.00 it is bugged, it only works in 1.08

Thanks! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif I followed your advice and it works great now. I would never have figured it out on my own.
