4.1 Drive systems - Updated 22th Feb, 2010
Massive devices that make it possible for the ship to go to other places, you definitely can't do without them. Here is the list of them
4.1.1 Engines
* Stations have multiple engines spread out but are managed centrally and can be considered a single engine system.
* All charasteristics of the station drives are 5 times that of a normal drive.

Atomic Fusion Engine (AFE Drive)
  • Faction: Humans
  • Technology: 15 || 90
  • Resources: 4386 || 21930
  • Requirements: Metals
  • Replacements: IE Drive, PFE Drive
  • Characteristics
    1. Thrust Generation: 6.84 + (Level * 0.28)
    2. Energy Capacity: 36.5
    3. Energy Production: 0.46/s Description:
      Atomic Fusion Engine uses realiable, but, old nuclear technology to generate power and sublight propulsion.

Ion Engine (IE Drive)
  • Faction: Humans
  • Technology: 5 || 95
  • Resources: 5000 || 25000
  • Requirements: Metals
  • Replacements: AFE Drive, PFE Drive
  • Characteristics
    1. Thrust Generation: 6.0 + (Level * 0.25)
    2. Energy Capacity: 32
    3. Energy Production: 0.52/s
  • Description:
    Ion Engines is used to travel at sub light speeds.

Proton Fusion Engine (PFE Drive)
  • Faction: Humans
  • Technology: 25 || 100
  • Resources: 5700 || 28500
  • Requirements: Metals
  • Replacements: AFE Drive, IE Drive
  • Characteristics
    1. Thrust Generation: 5.26 + (Level * 0.22)
    2. Energy Capacity: 32.0
    3. Energy Production: 0.58/s
  • Description:
    Proton Fusion Engine has supperior power generation, but at the cost: of slower sub light speed.

Anti-Matter Engine (AME)
  • Faction: K'Luth
  • Technology: 35 || 100
  • Resources: 7500 || 28500
  • Requirements: Metals
  • Replacements: PSI Drive
  • Characteristics
    1. Thrust Generation: 6.84 + (level * 0.28)
    2. Energy Capacity: 28.0
    3. Energy Production: 0.46/s
  • Description:

Psionic Interferenc Engine (PSI Drive)
  • Faction: K'Luth
  • Technology: 5 || 95
  • Resources: 5000 || 25000
  • Requirements: Metals
  • Replacements: AME Drive
  • Characteristics
    1. Thrust Generation: 6.0 + (Level * 0.25)
    2. Energy Capacity: 32.0
    3. Energy Production: 0.52/s
  • Description:
    The Psionic Interference Engine is the origional drive used by the K'Luth star ships. Wat it lacks in acceleration and speed is made up for with its improved energy capacity and its resistance to dammage.

4.1.2 Faster Than Light
Faster Then Light propulsions provide just what it says, a way to travel faster then light. Currently the only known application of FTP uses the Medujula Tachyon theory. With the exption of using Wormholes.

Tachyon Drive
  • Faction: Humans
  • Technology: 15
  • Resources: 250
  • Requirements: Metals
  • Replacements: None
  • Characteristics
    1. Fuel: 1625 + (Level* 625)
    2. FTL Speed: 2400 Gu/s
    3. Recharge Time: 30 seconds ?
    4. Energy Drain: 0.08/s
  • Description:
    The tachyon drive produces no energy and is used to travel at faster-then-light speeds within a star system.

Anti-Matter Jump Drive (AMJD)
  • Faction: K'Luth
  • Technology: 45
  • Resources: 1500
  • Requirements: Metals
  • Replacements: None
  • Characteristics
    1. Fuel: 1800 + (Level * 350)
    2. FTL Speed: 3000 Gu/s
    3. Recharge Time: 20 seconds?
    4. Energy Drain: 0.12/s
  • Description:
    The tachyon drive produces no energy and is used to travel at faster-then-light speeds within a star system.

Hyper Mass Accelerator (HMA)
  • Faction: All
  • Technology: 18
  • Resources: 3000
  • Requirements: Metals
  • Replacements: Worm Hole Generator (Engines 3.1.3 Special)
  • Characteristics
    1. Fuel: 6000 + (level * 600)
    2. FTL Speed: 2000 Gu/s
    3. Recharge Time: 22 seconds & 24 seconds
    4. Energy Drain: 0.42/s & 0.5/s
  • Description:
    The Hyper Mass Accelerator can propel large masses at near FTL speeds for inter-stellar travel.

4.1.3 Special
Some of the other things allow you to go to other places, but don't push or pull you trough space.

Worm Hole Generator (Worm Hole Device II)
  • Faction: All
  • Technology: 100
  • Resources: 3000
  • Requirements: Metals
  • Replacements: Hyper Mass Accelerator (Engines 3.1.2 Faster Than Light)
  • Characteristics
    1. MaxRange: 300000 Gu
    2. MinRange: 2000 Gu
    3. Duration: 120 seconds
    4. Recharge Time: 150 Seconds
    5. Energy Drain: 0.4/s
