Propulsion is provided by three main pieces of equipment.
- Primary propulsion is provided by one or more engines
- Secondary propulsion, maneuvering, is provided by thrusters
- FTL propulsion is provided by the FTL drive and is not recorded in the debug menu
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.
| propulsion equipment | max thrust | test ship mass | speed | speed / mass ratio |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| engine | 99 | 759 | 262 | 2.896946565 |
| thruster | 20 | 390 | 102 | 3.823529412 |
| FTL drive | - | - | - | - |
Update (1/16/23):
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
- Engine: 269 Velocity 269% evasion
- Thruster: 51 Velocity
