The Spike Engine is a type of engine based on the Aerospike engine.
Performance[]
The Spike Engine provides ships with 300 kph (300 studs) in speed, triple that of the regular engine, while consuming the same amount of fuel (0.5 liters). The spike also maintains the same level of acceleration power, making it unwieldy at high throttles. This means that, in some cases, a regular engine is preferable, usually when a ship must slow down and be precise while changing direction quickly.
