Summary
Thrusters are a mandatory part of spaceships in order for them to be able to fly. At least one thruster is required in each ship.
Use
Thrusters determine which directions spaceships can be flown and at what speed, and they require power and propellant to function.
A cable drawn from the power source must be attached to the base of the thruster for correct distribution of power.
- There are three different thruster types available:
- Box thrusters
- Triangle thrusters
- Maneuver thrusters
Basic information
- To be able to fly, a spaceship needs at least a one thruster.
- Box and triangle thrusters are big "main" thrusters and consist of multiple parts that need to be bolted together.
- 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 bolted to a base plate that has access to propellant and electricity.
- Thrusters need to be in the same data network as the FCU flight control unit.
- Thrusters require power to function.
- A thruster also requires propellant to function.
- To get propellant, a pipe has to be drawn between the device hardpoint and a gas container.
- Propellant consumption isn't linear with the sweetspot around 70-80% thrust.
Thruster types
Box thruster
Box Thrusters with regular and corner base variants.
- Box thrusters provide 500 000 thrust
- At maximum thrust Box thrusters use 46.5 propellant per second and 42.5 electricity per second.
- The price for a box thruster is around 68,000 credits
Triangle thruster
Triangle thrusters. The sides with a hexagon on them can be used to stack multiple thrusters to one base.
- Triangle thrusters provide 300 000 thrust
- At maximum thrust Triangle thrusters use 46.5 propellant per second and 42.5 electricity per second.
Maneuver thruster
Small thrusters meant for maneuvering the ship.
- Maneuver thrusters provide 50 000 thrust
- At maximum thrust Maneuver thrusters use 11.7 propellant per second and 5 electricity per second.
Device fields
