Selected Component Details
Thrusters
Thrusters for both small and large ships require reactor energy and apply two different kinds of thrust. A thruster applies its maximum thrust while stabilizing and only 2/3 of the maximum thrust when the pilot uses W, A, S, D, or any other means of maneuvering. This means a ship will stabilize faster if the pilot does not activate any maneuvering controls.
Small Ships
| Small Ship Thruster Characteristics[6] | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Force (N) | Power (GW) | Mass (Kg) | ||
| Small Thruster | Max | 18,165 | 2.52 | 93 |
| Maneuvering | 12,110 | 1.68 | ||
| Large Thruster | Max | 218,250 | 30 | 721 |
| Maneuvering | 145,500 | 20 | ||
Large Ships
| Large Ship Thruster Characteristics[6] | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Force (N) | Power (GW) | Mass (Kg) | ||
| Small Thruster | Max | 150,660 | 42 | 3384 |
| Maneuvering | 100,440 | 28 | ||
| Large Thruster | Max | 1,815,000 | 504 | 43212 |
| Maneuvering | 1,210,000 | 336 | ||
Reactors
Ship reactors output different amounts of power depending on reactor and ship size. Thrusters, gyroscopes, gravity generators and motors are currently the only functional components which require reactor power to operate. Note that gyroscopes, gravity generators and motors require negligible power relative to thrusters.
| Reactor Power Output[6] | ||
|---|---|---|
| Power (GW) | ||
| Small Ship | Small Reactor | 4 |
| Large Reactor | 108 | |
| Large Ship | Small Reactor | 56 |
| Large Reactor | 1512 | |
Tips for Planning Ship Thruster-Reactor Systems
In order to avoid overusing your ship's reactors, use enough reactors to supply all of your ship's thruster's maximum power consumption.
- Take the number of small and large thrusters and multiply them by their respective maximum power (GW). This is the minimum amount of power your ship's reactors need to supply.
- For example, if there is a large ship with 4 large thrusters and 6 small thrusters, the maximum required power would be (4*504) + (6*42) = 2268 GW. This ship would therefore require 2 large reactors (2*1512 = 3024 GW) in order to ideally operate.
Landing Gear
Landing gears allow a ship to latch onto another object. They are particularly useful when docking small ships on larger carrier ships. However, when the larger ship maneuvers (especially in pitch and yaw) there is a common issue where the smaller ship's landing gear will break due to a collision error.
- In order to avoid this issue, ensure that the landing gear is not in direct contact with the metal of the carrier ship. Instead, slowly move toward the ship and attach them the instant the indicator turns yellow. This will leave some space in between the two ships, and keep the collision error from occurring.
