Xeno Armored Thruster

"Upgraded Armored Thrusters with Xeno Division armor technology, they are able to sustain more damage and keep ships just as fast."

General
The Xeno Armored Thruster is an advanced version of Armored Thrusters, taking up less mass while giving more health. It is limited to T6 hulls and above.

Advantages
Xeno Armored Thrusters are useful on the vast majority of ships, similar to Armored Thrusters. The extra forward speed allows your ships to better kite and catch enemy targets.

Disadvantages
Xeno Armored Thrusters turn slightly slower than Fusion Thrusters, although this is not much of a disadvantage compared to the various benefits.

The Harmonic Chase Thruster supersedes it in terms of agility, at the cost of extra mass (only for levels II and III). It does not provide any health bonus, however.

Trivia

 * The winner for killing the most Geir's Fortresses during Eradication received an Elite Suppressor armed with Xeno Seeker Missiles as well as the new Xeno Armored Thruster, before the tech was even introduced into the game as a blueprint.
 * It is believed to be a remake of the Strike Thrusters because they share the same icon.
 * This item's build time was significantly reduced during the late April 2019 update as summarized here.
 * Its repair time was nullified as a result of the early February 2021 update, which updated the repair time of all Tier 6 ships to be invariant to equipment.
