Boost? Make a ship go superfast? Make the time go faster? What is meant with boost?

And what is shoplifting?

Boost engine - means that you put floating TNT into the air (or something like that).
Be careful so you don't "blow" the engine...

What do you need boost for chase? So you can chase other boats and ships faster and to sink them more rapidly.. just like you did to me? :P

Hi Der Bandit,
Shoplifting is the act of stealing goods from a shop, and boosting is an American slang word for doing it. :o ;)

Hi Bandit:
“Boosting” is slang for Shoplifting, which is the crime of stealing items from a store by concealing them on your person.
JHB’s definition—which I understood Chase to mean—is also a crime in the context of Multiplayer.
It is indicative of the childlike destructive mentality that needs to be kept out of Multiplayer if Ship Simulator is to remain a serious simulator rather than just another playground for idiots.
Regards,
Marty

I think in some places shoplifting is also known as nicking.
I'll add my amen to Fred's.
