Impulse systems
Impulse systems
Soon after the first tests in cosmology that people made, they knew that the jet engines were just not powerful enough for a successful cosmic web of flights. Even though flights of smaller and lighter ships were satisfactory, gathering a serious war fleet equipped with heavy armaments and sufficient shields was practically impossible. After the take of, ships could barely reach 400 meters above sea level. It was most certain that an engine, able to work even in zero gravity must be produced. The Impulse systems were the solution the scientists found. Engines with huge sizes and capacities, which burn Oxygen and Hydrogen, kept in separate tanks. The reaction between these two elements is well-known for the high production of energy. After reaching open space the water steams produced from the reaction are released through the engine's exhaust tips, giving the ship amazing torque.
Impulse systems increase ships' velocity with 20% at every upper level.
