The 1000MN Afterburner/Microwarpdrive
For use of capitals only, due to immense powergrid and CPU requierments, this can be used to get a capital somewhere else on the grid quickly.

I hate to be a drag but.... 1000mn will just push a 80 m p/s ship into the 200 - 400 m p/s speed bracket.

That isn't quick in a battle situation by any stretch of the imagination, esp for a ship the size of a whale. IT would take the ship a long time to move anywhere on the grid outside of hotdropping, jumping or just plain warping.

And what value would it have in a battle for a capital ship? It's not like they can wtfown frigates if they get in 5km range anyway... their too big to hit anything smaller than them for the most part.

I don't really see the point. Why not just leave grid and come back on grid elsewhere?

One issue I see is that I've already heard a few times about capitals managing to speed-tank seiged dreads, I could see this making it worse.

If you cyno'd your caps in to the right place on the grid they wouldn't have to move around much.

Stop trying to treat them like they're just large battleships.
