Phase Charge Relay

"A charge relay that increases phase energy flow to speed up phase state activation."

General
The Phase Charge Relay is a Pharmakon-exclusive special that boosts the Charge rate of Phase Screens, at the cost of a faster drain rate.

Note that this special can be stacked with as other specials that affect Phase Drain and/or Phase Charge, including itself.

Advantages
The Phase Charge Relay enables ships to enter phase state much more quickly, making it easier for Pharmakon Hulls to get the initial jump on their opponents.

Pharmakon Hulls are also able to escape danger much more quickly due to the faster charge rate.

Disadvantages
The drain rate of phase screens is increased as well, meaning the duration of which when the Pharmakon can remain in phase state is shorter, meaning that players using Pharmakon Hulls must react more quickly to take advantage of the phase state.

Trivia

 * This is the first Pharmakon special to boost Phase Screen Charge.
 * The Phase Charge Relay does the opposite of the Phase Drain Buffer, Increasing the Charge time of Phase Screens at the cost of a faster Phase Screen Drain.
 * The Phasing revamp during early November 2019 drastically reduced the nominal Phase Charge/Drain modifiers of Phase Charge Relay because their effects now stack across the whole fleet instead of just a single ship.
