An engine is a ship's main propulsion system, while thrusters are needed for fine movement and maneuvers. The greater mass a ship has, the more engines are needed to provide movement.
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.
Engines will load fuel while they are unpowered. Fuel capacity is 4.
History[edit | edit source]
- Update 1.rc2: Introduced.
- Alpha1A: Changed width from 6 to 7, removed wall constraint, and added interior constraint.
