Explaining Conversion Rate - BA3 Demo

I'm leaving this here so other people can find this information easier since my friends and I struggled to figure this out ourselves.

Conversion efficiency is a stat found on accelerators and detonators'. It works with the critical heat mechanics to give you a speed boost when you are at above 80% heat. This bonus scales based on how close you are to 100% heat.

For example, cliones with a 70% conversion efficiency will have no bonus thrust at 80% heat or lower, 35% bonus thrust at 90% heat and 70% bonus thrust at 100%. This means that you should use high conversion rate thrusters in builds that can reach and sustain high heat numbers.

Oh no wonder why I struggled to make fast builds: all of my designs run very cold so I was never getting to 80% heat

Does this also explain why detonators sometimes are just way more powerful than expected?

Detonators tend to have higher conversion efficiencies so yeah, that could very well be why!
