Ship engine

Ship engine is a type of ship component. It controls your ship flight performance, speed and handling.

Main properties[]

Engine top speed: The speed shown in your cockpit is approximately 10 times this speed (+/+).
Pitch rate maximum: (+/+).
Yaw rate maximum: (+/+).
Roll rate maximum: (+/+).
Reactor energy drain: Uses the energy from the reactor (+/-).
Mass: Uses the mass allowance of the chassis (+/-).

Optional components[]

Engine limiter: (-) Engine speed, (-) Energy maintenance.
Engine overdriver: (+) Engine speed, (+) Energy maintenance.

Reward[]

Quantum Ion Drive.

The QID is a reward from Nym's starmap quest. It can drop the highest speed of any non crafted engine in the game and occasionaly drops a decent pyr as well. The QID is the basis for the majority of pvp engines given its potential for high speed, high pyr, and reasonable mass.

Engine Overload (Routine),
Engine Tuning (Routine).

Re'ing and Buying Tips[]

The 3 most common engines seen in pvp ships are the RE'd 8 (see QID above), lvl 10 engines, and a mk V high speed crafted. Less commonly seen are "pre-nerf" lvl 6 engines, non pre nerf lvl 6's, and then pyr mk V engines (sorta a poor man's QID). Lvl 10 Engines are reserved for ships with a generous mass, for example adv. x's, b-wings, kse's. Lvl 6 engines are used in light interceptors. The one advantage crafted engines have over re'd is a high top speed. However, this is somewhat mitigated by the fact that the reactor drain makes it extremely hard to run them on EO4.

CAPTION:
(+/+) The more the better,
(+/-) The more the worse,
(+) Increase,
(-) Decrease.
