== Summary ==

[[Image:Beams.png|400px]]

Beams are used to form the main structure of a [[Spaceships|spaceship]].

== Basic information ==

The different sizes and shapes of the beams available can be seen below.<br>
All beams have a cross section of 24x24cm.

=== Straight beams ===
Straight beams come in lengths of 24, 36, 48, 72, 96, 192 and 384cm.

[[Image:StraightBeams.png|400px]]

=== Corner and Intersection beams ===

Corner beams come in three main sizes; 24, 36 and 48cm, shown in the bottom row of the image below.<br>
Intersection beams have sizes corresponding to the 36 and 48cm corner beams.<br>
Intersection beams are available with any number of connections (2-6), in any required direction.<br>

[[Image:CornerBeams.png|400px]]

=== Angled beams ===
Angled beams have a section of the beam sloped at 45°.<br>
Angled beams come in sizes of 72, 84, 96 and 108cm.<br>
Similar angled plating is available.<br>

[[Image:AngledBeams.png|400px]]

=== Attachment plates ===
Beams should be [[Tools#Bolt_tool|bolted]] together using the attachment plates for maximum structural integrity, as shown below.<br>
A connection between two beams is valid as long as the attachment plate touches both beams.

Thrusters

Player: Minor edit to reflect some of the numerical changes in update 18-6-2021 alpha 485.2001 for tiered thrusters

Thrusters are a mandatory part of spaceships: Not only can a spaceship not move on its own without them, but the game defines a spaceship by their inclusion. Thrusters determine which directions a spaceship can be flown and at what speed, and they require power and propellant to function. Cables and pipes must attach a thrusters [[Hardpoints|hardpoint]] to a network with sufficient power and sufficient [[Propellant tank|propellant]] in order for them to function.

== Basic information ==

* To be able to fly, a spaceship needs at least one thruster.
** [[Plasma_thruster|Plasma]] Thrusters are the biggest thrusters so far, which can be upgraded to output more thrust. For full thrust they need a warm up time.
** [[Box_thruster|Box]] and [[Triangle_thruster|triangle]] thrusters are big "main" thrusters and consist of multiple parts that need to be bolted together.
** [[Maneuver_thruster|Maneuver]] thrusters enable small movements of the ship such as adjusting yaw and pitch, though they can still be used as main thrusters on smaller ships.
** Thrusters need to be [[Bolt tool|bolted]] to a [[Hardpoints|hardpoint]] that has access to propellant and electricity.
*** The [[Hardpoints|hardpoint]] a thruster is bolted to much be bolted to the beam frame of the ship for the thruster to function.

* Thrusters need to be in the same [[Data networks|data network]] as both the [[Flight control unit|flight control unit]] and [[Main flight computer|main flight computer]], if they are to be controlled by the main flight computer.

* Thrusters require power to function.
** To get power, a [[Cable tool|cable]] has to be drawn from a power source, such as a [[Generator]] or [[Battery]] to the [[Hardpoints|hardpoint]]'s socket.

* A thruster also requires [[Propellant tank|propellant]] to function.
** To get propellant, a [[Pipe tool|pipe]] has to be drawn between the device hardpoint and a gas container.

* Plasma Thrusters will need an additional type of propellant in the future, called Karnite.
** This new fuel will come in the same containers as regular propellant does.

== Thruster types ==

There are four different thruster types currently available, with all thrusters except the plasma thruster now having three separate variants outlined as tiers one through three:

{{SB Infobox Compact

|{{#invoke:Transcluder|main|Maneuver thruster|only=templates|templates=SB Infobox|makeLink=true}}
}}

== Device fields ==

Each of the four thrusters share a set of common device fields (below), but the plasma thruster has additional device fields owing to its unique characteristics.

Though they produce relatively little thrust, maneuver thrusters are simple devices with a low profile, which makes them attractive options for smaller spacecraft.<section end=summary/>

== Basic information ==

Unlike other thrusters, maneuver thrusters are single-piece designs, which greatly simplifies their usage. Each maneuver thruster can be addressed individually or as part of a larger group via their [[Device fields|device fields]], though not as readily as [[Triangle thruster|triangle thrusters]] can. Being cold-gas thrusters, maneuver thrusters are unique in that they produce very little in terms of thrust trails, and have zero light emission while doing so. This can make them a useful option for designers attempting to minimize the visibility of their spacecraft.

}}<section end=infobox/><section begin=summary/>Triangle thrusters are a type of [[Thrusters|thruster]] which are uniquely modular: Each triangle thruster has three ports on its sides, through which it can share propellant, power, and thrust states with adjacent triangle thrusters. Each bank of connected triangle thrusters requires only one device base for all of the thrusters contained within it, but it does come at the cost of some fine control as the thrusters within a group cannot fire individually.<section end=summary/>

== Basic information ==

Triangle thrusters are composed of five distinct components:
* The body, which houses the other components and provides convenient mounting surfaces. The body also holds two of the modular ports.
* The chamber, which burns [[Propellant tank|propellant]] to produce thrust. The chamber holds the final modular port.
* The nozzle, which channels the exhaust out of the chamber (thus producing thrust).
* The electricity converter, which converts power from [[Generator (Assembly)|generators]] and [[Battery|batteries]] into power usable by the thruster.
* The gas converter, which prepares propellant to be burnt.

Despite their relatively low thrust power (300,000 per unit), the modularity and ease-of-use that triangle thrusters offer is unmatched, though one does need to be careful to properly protect grouped thrusters as the destruction of just a few units can cause a total disruption of the entire thruster bank.

== Basic information ==

Box thrusters are composed of five distinct components:

* The gas converter, which prepares propellant to be burnt.

Unlike triangle thrusters, box thrusters do not have a resource-sharing port, and cannot be placed adjacent to one another in order to share power or propellant. Each box thruster must have its own device base with its own connection to the power and propellant networks in order to function. Despite this, and though they require significantly more space, box thrusters remain a popular choice as they produce considerable thrust per unit (500,000 thrust).

}}<section begin=summary/>Generators are one of the most important parts of a spaceship, as they convert [[Fuel rod|fuel]] into electrical energy in an efficient process. They are extremely modular, and can be configured into complexes of many different shapes and sizes - however, for each adjacent generator, the heat output is also increased. <section end=summary/>

== Basic Usage ==

* Receives '''Processed Fuel''' from the fuel chamber and converts it to '''Power'''.
** This process also generates '''Heat'''.
** '''NOTE!''' The generators will constantly consume '''Processed fuel''', wasting excess '''Power''' unless their ''ConversionRateLimit'' is modified via [[YOLOL|YOLOL]]
* There are six connectors, one on each side.
* Other modules can be attached to the connectors.
** For every adjacent generator unit, extra heat will be generated.

* Produces 1000 units of electricity per second, if enough fuel is available.
* One fuel rod can support three tier one (T1) or tier two (T2) generator units, or 3000 units of electricity per second. (Verification requested from CA tester for tier 2)
* Five fuel rods can (theoretically) support twelve tier three (T3) generator units at 15,000 units of electricity, while it would take 15 tier one (T1) or tier 2 (T2) generators to sustain such generation.
** With an enhanced fuel chamber, a fuel rod can support more generator units.
