Engines are what determine the acceleration and max speed of ships when flying, boosting or using Travel Mode. Thrusters determine how fast a ship can strafe and turn around the axes. Some Engines include the same properties as Thrusters however these are exceptions.
Ship Movement Formulae
Acceleration = Engine Thrust/Ship Mass
Max Speed = Engine Thrust/Ship Directional Drag
Engines
XS And Other Engines
These are mostly part of mass traffic/deployable NPC objects which are unobtainable by the player or integrated into the Space Suit .
