Modding Help Speedboster on ship?

https://starbounder.org/Speed_Booster

I believe the objectName is "speedboster". Why is it that when I place one of these on my ship it doesn't boost my speed?

 

It boosts player running speed. Not ship speed.

 

Not while on the ship it doesn't

 

Sorry, I couldn't resist.

Had a bit of spare time so I gave it a shot too - same thing. It simply doesn't work.
