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. The hardpoint '''must''' be bolted '''directly''' to the frame to be seen as a valid thruster hardpoint.

* To be able to fly, a spaceship needs at least a 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 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.
** [[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 base plate that has access to propellant and electricity.
** Thrusters need to be [[Bolt tool|bolted]] to a [[Hardpoints|hardpoint]] that has access to propellant and electricity.
*** The [[Hardpoints|hardpoint]] has to be [[Bolt tool|bolted]] to the ship's frame with at least two bolts in order for the mounted thruster to properly function or respond to the [[Main flight computer|main flight computer's]] inputs.


* 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 need to be in the same [[Data networks|data network]] as the FCU [[Flight control unit|flight control unit]].
* Thrusters require power to function.
** To get power, a [[Cable tool|cable]] has to be drawn from a [[Generator|power source]] to the thruster's socket.
* A thruster also requires [[Propellant|propellant]] to function.
** To get propellant, a [[Pipe tool|pipe]] has to be drawn between the device hardpoint and a gas container.


* Thrusters require power to function.
* Box, triangle and manoeuvring thrusters provide 50000, 25000 and 5000 thrust respectively.
** 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.
* Propellant consumption isn't linear with the sweetspot around 70-80% thrust.
** To get propellant, a [[Pipe tool|pipe]] has to be drawn between the device hardpoint and a propellant container.
* At 100% thrust Box and Triangle thrusters use 46.5 propellant per second while at 70% propellant useage is around 28 per second.
* At 100% thrust Maneuver thrusters use 101.6 propellant per second


* Plasma Thrusters will need an additional type of propellant in the future, called Karnite.
* Box and Triangle thrusters use 42.5 electricity per second
** This new fuel will come in the same containers as regular propellant does.  
* Maneuver thrusters use 7.5 electricity per second.

Summary



Starbase devices thrusters box.png

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.
The price for a box thruster is around 68,000 credits

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.
    • 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.
  • Box, triangle and manoeuvring thrusters provide 50000, 25000 and 5000 thrust respectively.
  • Propellant consumption isn't linear with the sweetspot around 70-80% thrust.
  • At 100% thrust Box and Triangle thrusters use 46.5 propellant per second while at 70% propellant useage is around 28 per second.
  • At 100% thrust Maneuver thrusters use 101.6 propellant per second
  • Box and Triangle thrusters use 42.5 electricity per second
  • Maneuver thrusters use 7.5 electricity per second.
