Impulse Drives are propulsion devices used by Ships to travel at sublight speeds and are also the main energy generating devices onboard a starship. Both Human factions use the same styles of engines while the alien K'luth use engines based of their own unique organic technology.

Human Engines

These engines are used by the UGTO and ICC ships and the salvaged Pirate ships, and are technologically based.

Ion Engines

Faction: UGTO, ICC, Pirates
Velocity: 100%
Thrust: 6.00 + (0.25
Energy capacity: 32 Units
Energy generation: 0.52 per second
Resource Cost: {{{resource}}} Resources
Technology Need: {{{tech}}} Technology

Stock engine for human ships which provides highest speed and lowest energy supply.

Atomic Fusion Engines

Faction: UGTO, ICC, Pirates
Velocity: 105%
Thrust: 6.75 + (0.3
Energy capacity: 30 Units
Energy generation: 0.44 per second
Resource Cost: {{{resource}}} Resources
Technology Need: {{{tech}}} Technology

Uses nuclear fusion to provide lesser speed and more energy supply.

Proton Fusion Engines

Faction: UGTO, ICC, Pirates
Velocity: 95%
Thrust: 5.5 + (0.2
Energy capacity: 34 Units
Energy generation: 0.62 per second
Resource Cost: {{{resource}}} Resources
Technology Need: {{{tech}}} Technology

Provides least speed and the greatest energy supply.

K'Luth Engines

The engines are used by the alien K'luth and are organically based, eschewing the technology used by the human factions.

Psionic Inference Engines

Faction: K'Luth
Velocity: 100%
Thrust: 6.00 + (0.25
Energy capacity: 32 Units
Energy generation: 0.52 per second
Resource Cost: {{{resource}}} Resources
Technology Need: {{{tech}}} Technology

Stock engine provides less speed and more energy supply.

AntiMatter Engines

[[image:{{{engineimage}}}.png|225px]]
Faction: K'Luth
Velocity: 115%
Thrust: 6.85 + (0.325
Energy capacity: 29 Units
Energy generation: 0.44 per second
Resource Cost: {{{resource}}} Resources
Technology Need: {{{tech}}} Technology

Provides highest sublight speed and lowest energy supply.
