All Drives with Their Ratings and Thrust Values
By Honour ‘n Glory.
I made the list easier to read:
- Drives are listed from lowest to highest Exhaust Velocity (kps) Rating
- Exhaust Velocity Rating is in light blue
- Thrust Rating is in light pink
Look at the Combat Thrust numbers carefully. Some drives, like the Dusty Plasma Drive, have higher multipliers. This means their Thrust Newtons might be low, but their Combat Thrust could be much higher.
The rating system might seem odd at first. Even though some ratings are close, the actual values can be very different. For example:
- Helicon Drive: 8.3 kps rating, gives 308 kps
- Antimatter Plasma Core Torch: 9.2 rating, gives 595 kps

That concludes the guide, hope you found it helpful!
Your list lacks some very important info, whether or not an engine is:
1. open-cycle
2. limited to 1 per ship
Without them compairing drives is almost pointless.
