Well, I generally keep up on things, but it was a surprise to me to find out that the engine booster does not work in pirate mode.

While I "understand" how and why the developers included this in one of the updates, I fail to comprehend how they can still charge me my hard-earned money to use it while disabling it at the same time.

If they do not remember: One of the biggest achievements in the game is finishing white missions while in Pirate Mode. This is the SOLE reason I go into pirate mode 90% of the time. It is REQUIRED to finish this achievement. Having my engine booster (which I buy primarily to save time) disabled is a detriment to my success in this.

There are a few options:
A: Disable the timer on the Engine booster while pilot is activated in Pirate Mode

B: Enable an option to PAUSE the engine booster while pilot is activated in Pirate Mode

C: Don't offer Engine boosters.

I was responded to quite politely on a ticket I submitted that "there is no possibility to check if the player is in pvp"

Well, here's an idea for you: Make a PvP Planet. It can't be that hard.

The C is bad idea, i will suggest for that: reduce 50% the price of the engine booster. I use it when I go with pirate mode off. And it will be good if we can use it when we do missions with pirate mode on for achievements.

This was changed in PvP update for balance vs other players, i think its well in this way. And Colossus is a pvp planet...

whata-a-duze? Ship alloy not active in Pirate Mode?? So PVP is basically Dead in this game, NONE what so ever. EVERY booster that gives a (slightly) boost is gone? :|

enable enginge boosters for all again, but disable it immediatly when a battle between 2 players is starting.

Of course, engine boosters have to be disabled completly on colossus and CQ Planets.
