An '''engine''' is a ship's main propulsion system, while [[thruster]]s are needed for fine movement and maneuvers. The greater mass a ship has, the more engines are needed to provide movement.


Engines require both power and fuel to work.
Engines are 7 x 4, cannot be rotated, and must intersect the [[Hull]] with at least the rightmost two columns inside the hull. They require 6 unobstructed squares to the left of them.


Size 6x4
Engines will load fuel while they are unpowered. Fuel capacity is 4.


engines vannot be rotated must be placed with the 3rd block inside Hull.
