Propulsion is provided by three main pieces of equipment.

'''Propulsion''' is provided by three main pieces of equipment.

* Primary propulsion is provided by one or more [[Engine|engines]]

* Secondary propulsion (maneuvering) is provided by [[Thruster|thrusters]]

* 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.

Below ~~I have included~~ some metrics for each form of propulsion using my ship ~~the "tin can" which has~~ the bare minimum equipment and weight to propel ~~the ship~~.

[[File:PropulsionExampleShip.png|thumb|Ship Example]]V_maxspeed = 197600 * quantity_engine / mass_ship (if main engine only)

~~'''<u>Update (1/16/23)~~:~~</u>'''~~

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

~~As of Alpha 1A we no longer have access to~~ the ~~debug menu. The only metric we have is Velocity and~~ evasion~~. Using the same ship as above I was able to calculate the following~~

It's worth noting that the evasion value does increase when making turns

* Engine: ~~269 Velocity 269% evasion~~

[[Category:Getting started]]

* Thruster: ~~51 Velocity~~
