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.

~~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 are ~~6 x~~ 4~~, cannot be rotated and must be placed with the 3rd block 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.
