-Propulsion in TLS is provided by [[Engine|Engines]] and [[Thruster|thrusters]].
+'''Propulsion''' is provided by three main pieces of equipment.
+* Primary propulsion is provided by one or more [[Engine|engines]]
-Below I have included some metrics for each as of Demo update 2 (10-10-22)
+* Secondary propulsion (maneuvering) is provided by [[Thruster|thrusters]]
+* FTL propulsion is provided by the [[FTL Drive|FTL drive]] and is not recorded in the debug menu
+Below are some metrics for each form of propulsion using a ship with the bare minimum equipment and weight to propel it.

+As of Alpha 1A, the debug menu is no longer accessible. The only metrics available are velocity and evasion. Using the same ship as above, the following can be calculated:
+* Engine: 269 velocity 269% evasion
+* Thruster: 51 velocity
+It's worth noting that the evasion value does increase when making turns
