[T 2.0] LM - Engine IV 'Aftershock'

Nice thank you! Love how you have not only the big modules but the accessory slots as well. Makes things even more customizable!

At least 2 so there is some variability

I'll be sure to design some heavy duty thruster modules for the purpose of super large ships.

Totally agree about not making them super agile; there has to be some good artificial gravity/inertial dampers in this game given what I have seen 3 KM pirate and trade ships do! Of course that is a normal thing for any game with large ships so players don't get bored.

The larger engines are more about getting better accel anyway. Once you get to a 15-slot you are stuck with a paltry 12-14 m/s^2. Can't really see anyone building a ship that sluggish in a universe where 5-10 G accel seems to be the norm. Big ships aren't slow in reality either, particularly if they are meant for combat. I try to shoot for around 40-50 m/s^2 on my big ships so they can at least travel between stations and gates in a reasonable timeframe.

Thanks for the feedback.

Most of these large designs aren't meant to be that large as they are more "fleet ships" to be built in mass and support your custom grow 420 flagship. An alternative is to come up with a design you like using these parts, then scale the entire ship to be larger giving you the slots and "girth" you need for a flagship. The scaled engines should also help boost up the thrust.

I am planning on releasing more modules and auxiliaries as well so keep an eye out.

Additionally, I am against making massive ships mega agile and fast as it makes any smaller ship completely worthless. It is also completely unrealistic to have a 1km+ long ship able to pull a 360 in seconds. The inertial forces would rip the ship apart and crew inside would be splattered against the walls.I know this is a game, but I still like to try and keep the ships realistic while not making them completely worthless.

Love your modular ship pieces! One thing I noticed though is that when building a 15-slot ship there is no good way to get extra thrust for large builds. I took this engine essentially mirrored it underneath and added a couple of small ship engines supported by struts in the left and right gaps between the engines and that seemed to work alright. Being able to mount large modules upside down on the bottom engine helped keep the length down as well when getting to 15 slots. That said, it is a kitbash and is pretty inefficient in terms of block count and engine layout.

I suck at building from scratch and matching someone else's style so I was wondering if you could do a similar, but optimized, oversized thruster layout for people building larger ships or who just want more engine power!
