The "afterburner" option is a result of two factors; first, the "Unofficial Rules" campaign option is set (since it's an optional rule from my Unofficial Rules set) and two the name starts with "Reactionless Engine". So if you rename your drives to be
Reactionless Engine - EM Drive they should have the
Afterburner option available.
Incidentally, I have thought about changing the way that System Options work to allow user systems to be set up to be allowed to use the predefined options (in this case, it would allow you to use the Afterburner option without having to stick to the Reactionless Engine naming convention). It'd just take a bit of a rewrite and I haven't gotten around to devoting that much time to it.
In checking this out it looks like there is a bug in the Read User Systems function that causes it to read the Performance 1 column twice and then read Performance 3 instead of reading them 1, 2, then 3. This affects every time the sheet would read the data, including when it goes to save a ship to one of the save sheets. I'm going to have to push an Excel update shortly to fix that.
