Main Rocket Engine
Main rocket engine of the ship is the core method of propulsion of a spaceship. Main engines usually operate in two modes:
- Interlunar mode, providing high propellant economy for hour-to-days long codex:burns during glossary:interlunar travel, serving both as propulsion and artificial gravity.
- RCS support mode, providing high thrust to complement RCS thrusters of a spaceship.
