Human Atomic Engines

Details

Atomic engines are the most powerful engines by mass that can be found in human space, but this also makes them the most power hungry, heat producing, and expensive. Atomic engines are rarely seen on merchant ships, and even the Navy only starts using them during the war after the introduction of their mark II ship variants, but almost all Marauder ships will use them.

With the exception of A120 and A125 engines, which can be found in a few outfitters located in the Paradise Planets region, these powerful engines are only sold in the Deep.

A120 Atomic Thruster "If you're looking for the most powerful engine that will fit into your ship, and have plenty of money to burn, Deep Sky's atomic thrusters are your answer. Of course, the extra energy and cooling they require can easily offset the benefit of their small size." Cost 140,000 Mass 22 Thrust 67,248 Thrusting Energy 108 Thrusting Heat 210 Mass Efficiency (Thrusting) 3056.73 Energy Efficiency (Thrusting) 622.67 Heat Efficiency (Thrusting) 320.23	A125 Atomic Steering "Deep Sky's atomic thrusters are a popular choice for high-end starships. It is not uncommon for a set of atomic engines to cost more than the ship they are installed in." Cost 120,000 Mass 16 Turn 24,120 Turning Energy 54 Turning Heat 132 Mass Efficiency (Turning) 1507.5 Energy Efficiency (Turning) 446.67 Heat Efficiency (Turning) 182.73
A250 Atomic Thruster "Deep Sky's atomic thrusters have been in production for centuries, but remain a niche product due to their high prices and high energy requirements." Cost 280,000 Mass 34 Thrust 110,250 Thrusting Energy 186 Thrusting Heat 366 Mass Efficiency (Thrusting) 3242.65 Energy Efficiency (Thrusting) 592.74 Heat Efficiency (Thrusting) 301.23	A255 Atomic Steering "If you have exhausted all your other options for making your ship more maneuverable, it may be time to invest in a set of atomic engines." Cost 240,000 Mass 25 Turn 42,240 Turning Energy 90 Turning Heat 222 Mass Efficiency (Turning) 1689.6 Energy Efficiency (Turning) 469.33 Heat Efficiency (Turning) 190.27
A370 Atomic Thruster "This thruster is small enough to fit in a light warship or freighter, but powerful enough to move any but the largest of ships. Naturally, such performance comes at an exorbitant price." Cost 560,000 Mass 53 Thrust 180,900 Thrusting Energy 306 Thrusting Heat 618 Mass Efficiency (Thrusting) 3413.21 Energy Efficiency (Thrusting) 591.18 Heat Efficiency (Thrusting) 292.72	A375 Atomic Steering "Bounty hunters and other captains who need to gain a speed advantage over the ships they are pursuing often dream of being able to save up enough money for a set of atomic engines." Cost 480,000 Mass 38 Turn 73,320 Turning Energy 150 Turning Heat 378 Mass Efficiency (Turning) 1929.47 Energy Efficiency (Turning) 488.8 Heat Efficiency (Turning) 193.97
A520 Atomic Thruster "If your ship is sporting a set of Deep Sky's atomic engines, you will be the envy of every pilot in the galaxy. No other form of propulsion that humanity has discovered produces so much thrust from such a small engine." Cost 1,120,000 Mass 82 Thrust 294,840 Thrusting Energy 498 Thrusting Heat 1,044 Mass Efficiency (Thrusting) 3595.61 Energy Efficiency (Thrusting) 592.05 Heat Efficiency (Thrusting) 282.41	A525 Atomic Steering "This set of maneuvering thrusters from Deep Sky will allow small warships to turn as fast as a fighter. For larger ships, swapping the existing engines with a set of atomics can free up a considerable amount of space for other outfits or weapons." Cost 960,000 Mass 60 Turn 126,060 Turning Energy 246 Turning Heat 630 Mass Efficiency (Turning) 2101 Energy Efficiency (Turning) 512.44 Heat Efficiency (Turning) 200.1
A860 Atomic Thruster "The A860 Atomic Thruster is the most powerful engine sold in human space, and is much more compact than any of the alternatives. But, you may need to upgrade your ship's power and cooling systems to handle it." Cost 2,240,000 Mass 127 Thrust 479,880 Thrusting Energy 798 Thrusting Heat 1,746 Mass Efficiency (Thrusting) 3778.58 Energy Efficiency (Thrusting) 601.35 Heat Efficiency (Thrusting) 274.85	A865 Atomic Steering "Atomic engines are considered by many to be Deep Sky's crowning achievement. Although they are so expensive that relatively few of them are in use, there are few captains who do not dream of one day installing a set of them." Cost 1,920,000 Mass 92 Turn 215,820 Turning Energy 396 Turning Heat 1,050 Mass Efficiency (Turning) 2345.87 Energy Efficiency (Turning) 545 Heat Efficiency (Turning) 205.54
AR120 Reverse Thruster "For pilots who want to pull fancy tricks that most are not capable of duplicating, a reverse thruster allows a ship to accelerate backwards, without needing to turn around.Because a reverse thruster must be facing forwards, it must be installed in the weapon section of your ship instead of the engine section." Cost 140,000 Mass 22 Reverse Thrust 67,248 Reverse Thrusting Energy 108 Reverse Thrusting Heat 210
