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.

Tin Can 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
