- Transporter room: allows for trading of crew & cargo between your ship and another ship or station at a distance without having to dock directly to the ship or station. (Uses lots of energy!) (distance scales with material and size of block!)
-Plasma accelerator: boosts engine speed. Boost scales with size rather than material.
Stage-1 accelerator gives 25% max speed boost
Stage-2 accelerator gives 50% max speed boost
stage-3 accelerator gives 75% max speed boost and enables impulse drives to operate.
(Uses lots of energy!)
- Bearing: allows for blocks to spin freely. (Can be set to 15 degree increments or full rotation!)
- Motorized bearing: spins blocks using its own power. (Uses energy!) (Can be set to 15 degree increments or continual rotation!) (can be set to five different speed levels!)
- Lamp blocks: same as glow blocks but can be switched on & off via its own key bind. (Uses very little energy!)
- Engine slope: a sloped engine block
- Curve blocks: a rounded version of slope blocks.
- Inverted curve blocks: an inversely rounded version of slope blocks.
-Engine update(not a block): engines blocks could let you select what form of propulsion you wish to use. Upon placing an engine block, a UI would pop up asking which form of propulsion to use. Each method of propulsion would use a different combination of energy efficiency, speed, and fuel type stats (fuels bypassed in creative mode). Each method of propulsion would also have a unique sound and graphic. Here are the engine types and their stats:
-Liquid oxygen combustion: high energy efficiency, low speed, liquid-oxygen fuel (common)
-Ion fission plasma: medium energy efficiency, medium speed, uranium/plutonium (uncommon)
- high-energy fusion plasma: low energy efficiency, high speed, helium isotope 2&3 tritium (rare) & deuterium (uncommon)
-Impulse drive manifold: extremely high energy efficiency, high speed, no fuel but requires stage-3 plasma accelerator.
