=== [[File:FTL_Pylon.png]] FTL Pylon ===
* FTL Pylons use [[Guide_to_Atmospherics#Nucleium|nucleium]] and a handful of power, as a treat, to spin up.
* Keeping pylons spinning will increase their power draw, and if they are closed it will instead increase their [[Guide_to_Atmospherics#Nucleium|nucleium]] draw.
* When the pylons are spinning the FTL manifold (main drive) goes zoomie mode
* So in short: spin up the pylons before spooling the FTL, and it will charge a *lot* faster, after that you turn the pylons off again to avoid creating a power sink.
* We must construct additional pylons (the max amount per drive is four)
* If there is not enough Nucleium being pumped into the FTL Pylon then it will start spooling down, eventually shutting down.
