 ==Summary==
-Once [[Drive Engine (Upgrade)| Drive Engine Level 4]] upgrade has been researched, Icarus can use Space Warpers to travel in Warp Mode. In this mode the speed increase a lot, allowing for travel between star systems. In order to use it, the Space warper must be equipped in the mecha screen, next to the mecha fuel. The Space Warpers equipped can be stacked up to 20, and one will be consumed each time Icarus enters in Warp Mode. To enter in warp mode, the mecha must be out of the influence of any planet. Then the player can press the warp mode key (Caps Lock by default) and the mecha will consume one Space Warper and greatly accelerate until reaching the maximum speed (12.5AU/s). While accelerating, the energy consumption of the mecha will increase a lot. When the mecha gets near a star system the maximum speed decreases. The warp mode will continue until the player press the warp mode key again, the mecha runs out of energy, or the mecha “collides” with a planet. When exiting warp mode the mecha will return to 100m/s speed.
+The '''Space Warper''' is a consumable item that allows [[Icarus]] to use Mecha Warp mode to travel through space at far greater speeds than normal space flight, enabling interstellar travel. [[Drive Engine (Upgrade)|Drive Engine Level 4]] must be researched to use the Space Warper. Once Icarus's altitude above a planet is high enough that it is not affected by gravity (~1000 meters), pressing the warp mode key (Caps Lock by default) will consume a Space Warper and dramatically increase Icarus's acceleration and energy consumption. The maximum speed in warp mode is 12.5 AU/s, although further Drive Engine upgrades will increase this limit. Once Icarus comes within 1 light-year of a star system, it will begin to decelerate.
-The Space Warpers can be used in [[Logistics Vessel| Logistics Vessels]] as well. They have to be supplied to their [[Interstellar Logistics Station]], and when the travel meets the settings configured in the logistic station, the vessel will use two space warper for the trip (one each way). The travel time of vessels greatly decreases when using space warpers. The configuration of the space warper use in the logistics station include which is the minimum travel distance in order to use warpers, and whether is possible to do such travels without space warpers or the vessels must use them in order to do the trip.
+Additionally, after researching [[Logistics Carrier Engine (Upgrade)|Logistics Carrier Engine Level 4]], [[Logistics Vessel|Logistics Vessels]] can warp between star systems. Space Warpers must be supplied to the Vessels' [[Interstellar Logistics Station]], and once the Vessel's trip meets the requirements configured in the Logistics Station, the Vessel will depart, consuming 2 Space Warpers (one for the outgoing trip, one for the return trip). The player can decide how far away a destination must be to use the warp, or if warping is necessary at all. While it is possible for Logistics Vessels to travel between star systems without warping, using the Space Warper will drastically reduce the transit time.

 ==Player Tips & Tricks==
-* There are two recipes for Space Warpers, use the Green Cube one at soon as possible as the quantites produce enable you to supply warpers to your logistical fleets.
+* There are 2 ways to make Space Warpers, but the recipe that uses [[Gravity Matrix|Gravity Matrices]] is far more efficient. Until Gravity Matrices are unlocked, avoid dedicating more material to Space Warpers than is necessary.
-* One Warper is consumed each time warp is initiated by your Mech. Logistical vessels will consume 2 per round trip, regardless of distance.
+* At Mecha Core Level 4 (1.58 GJ energy capacity), Icarus can fly about 6 LY in one warp before running out of energy.<br />
-* Initially, at Mecha Core 4 (1.58GJ), a fully charged Mech can travel around 6 LY on one warp before running out of energy.
