=== 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.

Your main tool used for assembling blocks and repairing. Damaged layers can be repaired by replacing components in those layers (e.g. if a turret is damaged and its integrity decreases to 80%, you most likely have to only replace the first few layers of steel plate).[5]

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.

Reactors

Ship reactors output different amounts of power depending on reactor and ship size. Thrusters, gyroscopes and gravity generators are currently the only components which require reactor power to operate.

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.
