Engines

A ship has 2 engines that provide propulsion. The engine is the most important component for speed, acceleration and mobility. The engine's values are calculated against the ship's overall weight to define the ship's class. The engine's skill level defines which engine can be used.

Use of an engine
To use an engine:
 * Reach the required engine skill level to equip the desired engine module.
 * Equip the engine in the hangar while docked at any station.

Propulsion
Engines aid in your ships mobility in three different ways Engines are the ships main source of propulsion, but the cockpit also adds a certain amount. they also add a small amount of durability
 * Max. Speed: simply determines maximum speed
 * Thrust: This is your ships ability to carry speed through turns, and acceleration
 * Mobility: The ships turn rate
 * Mass has an adverse affect on Thrust and Mobility
 * Engine mods aid in durability, thrust, and mobility
