Engines & Thrusters

Master X4: Foundations engines and thrusters: choose Combat, All-Round, or Travel engines based on ship role, and upgrade thrusters for maneuverability.

'Engines & Thrusters' determine your ship's speed, acceleration, and maneuverability. There are different types (e.g., Combat, All-Round, Travel) and faction variants, each offering trade-offs. Combat engines provide higher top speed and boost, while All-Round engines offer a balance. Travel engines are optimized for long-distance travel in travel mode. Always match your engine choice to your ship's role. Upgrading thrusters improves turning rates, crucial for dogfighting.
