The ''Autumn'' was upgraded with a special improved nuclear fusion engine that featured two small reactors around a larger reactor, capable of boosting output power by 310%.  It was also upgraded with a new cooling system, replacing pipes of coolant with "a laser-induced optical slurry of ions chilled to near-absoute zero to neutralize the waste heat," meaning that instead of relying on a limited and depletable amount of chemical temperature-control agents, the advanced engines provided power for cooling themselves, supplying more colling power as more waste-heat was produced and more engine power was used.  A very efficient, self-supplying and regulating system that gave Captain Keyes new options and tactics to use in battle, previously limited due to concerns of overheating and slagging the ship's engines.
