The ship's primary impulse system.
The Engine is what keeps you moving through space. Without it, you can't move, not even turn.
This Node allows you to change Engine thrust, velocity, energy drain and heat generation. See Mobility .
Archetype Interaction[]
This node is largest in Grapplers and Fighters and smaller everywhere else.
Primary Engines[]
A ship with no engine is no ship at all.
All engines add heat and drain energy when running.
The exact degree to which an engine will affect a ship's final mobility will depend on the ship's mass. A big and heavy ship with a large engine may still be slower than a ship with a weaker engine but is smaller and lighter.

Additional Engine Parts[]
Equipping more engine parts can further tune the primary engine's performance. Each part takes up one slot.
