Engines and Thrusters

Last modified by Daniel Turner on 2023/08/15 17:05

Information

Updated for version 5.10

Notes:

Engines are what determine the acceleration and max speed of ships when flying, boosting or using Travel Mode. Thrusters determine how fast a ship can strafe and turn around the axes. Some Engines include the same properties as Thrusters however these are exceptions. Max speed and acceleration are directly dependant on the used engine. They are calculated as followed:

Acceleration = Engine Thrust/Ship Mass
Max Speed = Engine Thrust/Ship Directional Drag

The reverse drag of a ship is usually 4 times the forward drag for L/XL-ships and varies a lot for S/M-ships. The drag can be calculated with the simple formula: Directional Drag = Engine Thrust/Max Speed

XS And Other Engines(not updated)

These are mostly part of mass traffic/deployable NPC objects which are unobtainable by the player or integrated into the Space Suit .

¹: "Duration" is the amount of time for which the ship can boost, starting from a 100% shield until its depletion. [shield depletion per second = max. shield / duration]

²: "Attack" is the time it takes the engine to reach its maximum thrust [Max.Thrust = Thrust * Thrust Multiplier]

³: "Release" is the time it takes to engine to return to its default thrust after exiting "Boost" or "Travel-Mode"
