A ship can only use one engine upgrade at a time. It is possible to downgrade a ship's engine to use the core for something else.
Engine upgrades are divided by the size of the ship, as each ship's propulsion needs are somewhat different, given their variance in mass.
SMALL:
Complete Engine Optimization
Cost: 1,500[INDENT]By far the most cost-effective propulsion modification, this is the only one to actually keep the stock engines. Instead of replacing the existing engines, the technicians who install this upgrade replace essential parts. Seals and gaskets, along with a fuel stabilization unit. Heavier-duty parts are utilized in several areas, along with a complete propulsion control swap. In addition, the core draw is optimized for maximum thrust versus efficiency.
[/INDENT]Core: -15
Propulsion: +50
Mavluk High-Thrust Drive Swap
Cost: 3,000[INDENT]In order to further increase a vessel's speed, a complete set of engines swaps must be made. These new engines are made to be the same size as the ship's original engines, but are made of materials built to a far higher standard and produce much, much more thrust than the stock engines are capable of. In addition, these engines respond faster. To facilitate the integration of these engines into the ship's main computers, a new self-diagnosing computer complete with onboard telemetry is installed, along with a fuel stabilization unit.
[/INDENT]Core: -30
Propulsion: +75
Mavluk Mark II High-Thrust Drive Swap
Cost: 6,000[INDENT]Identical to the Mavluk Mark I engines, but designed with far superior parts. The result is a much more efficient set of engines capable of accelerating to far higher RPMs, complemented by a much larger amount of torque in order to create superior thrust.
[/INDENT]Core: -40
Propulsion: +100
MEDIUM:
Complete Engine Optimization
Cost: 2,000[INDENT]By far the most cost-effective propulsion modification, this is the only one to actually keep the stock engines. Instead of replacing the existing engines, the technicians who install this upgrade replace essential parts. Seals and gaskets, along with a fuel stabilization unit. Heavier-duty parts are utilized in several areas, along with a complete propulsion control swap. In addition, the core draw is optimized for maximum thrust versus efficiency.
[/INDENT]Core: -20
Propulsion: +35
Rheem Aeromotive Systems Drive Swap
Cost: 3,000[INDENT]In order to further increase a vessel's speed, a complete set of engines swaps must be made. These new engines are made to be the same size as the ship's original engines, but are made of materials built to a far higher standard and produce much, much more thrust than the stock engines are capable of. In addition, these engines respond faster. To facilitate the integration of these engines into the ship's main computers, a new self-diagnosing computer complete with onboard telemetry is installed, along with a fuel stabilization unit.
[/INDENT]Core: -35
Propulsion: +50
Cete'el High-Thrust Drive Swap
Cost: 4,000[INDENT]Deviating from normal procedure, Cete'el Industries has created a set of oversized engines for the medium ship. These engines come complete with all the necessary hardware and electronics for them to run at optimal performance. The result is outstanding speed for the heavy vessel.
[/INDENT]Core: -40
Propulsion: +75
LARGE:
Complete Engine Optimization
Cost: 1,000[INDENT]By far the most cost-effective propulsion modification, this is the only one to actually keep the stock engines. Instead of replacing the existing engines, the technicians who install this upgrade replace essential parts. Seals and gaskets, along with a fuel stabilization unit. Heavier-duty parts are utilized in several areas, along with a complete propulsion control swap. In addition, the core draw is optimized for maximum thrust versus efficiency.
[/INDENT]Core: -20
Propulsion: +15
Intensive Overhaul
Cost: 2,000[INDENT]Due to the fact that the large ship's stock engines are already far superior to most aftermarket propulsion systems, it is often a better idea to work with the existing engines. Virtually every single component is replaced or reinforced, in order to maximize output.
[/INDENT]Core: -40
Propulsion: +50
Shoji Heavy Industries High-Thrust Drive Swap
Cost: 3,000[INDENT]Deviating from normal procedure, Shoji Heavy Industries has created a set of oversized engines for the medium ship. These engines come complete with all the necessary hardware and electronics for them to run at optimal performance. The result is outstanding speed for the heavy vessel.
[/INDENT]Core: -45
Propulsion: +75
HUGE:
Complete Engine Optimization
Cost: 2,000[INDENT]By far the most cost-effective propulsion modification, this is the only one to actually keep the stock engines. Instead of replacing the existing engines, the technicians who install this upgrade replace essential parts. Seals and gaskets, along with a fuel stabilization unit. Heavier-duty parts are utilized in several areas, along with a complete propulsion control swap. In addition, the core draw is optimized for maximum thrust versus efficiency.
[/INDENT]Core: -25

Cost: 4,000[INDENT]Due to the fact that the huge ship's stock engines are already far superior to most aftermarket propulsion systems, it is often a better idea to work with the existing engines. Virtually every single component is replaced or reinforced, in order to maximize output.
[/INDENT]Core: -40
Propulsion: +50
Cete'el Super-Hi Thrust Drive Swap
Cost: 6,000[INDENT]The pinnacle of drive systems; there is no other set of production engines that produce more power than these. This upgrade is essentially the same as the Cete'el High-Thrust Drive Swap, in that it employs oversized engines and all the hardware necessary to operate them, but employs a larger power draw and, due to the sheer mass of the huge ship, the Super-Hi Thrust Drives are proportionately enormous, enabling ridiculous power.
[/INDENT]Core: -50
Propulsion: +100

Scram Jets
Cost: 2,000[INDENT]Available only on the small and medium ships, scram jets are a set of boosters that, when activated, launch the ship forward at incredible speed. The downside is that they overheat very quickly, and require a 'cool-down' period in between uses. These scram jets have an internalized power supply, and therefore drain nothing from the main core.
[/INDENT]Propulsion (Temporary - About 15 seconds): +100 (For small ships), +50 (For medium ships)
Stock Engine Swap
Cost: 2,000Tired of the core drain from your current engine? Swap it out back to your ship's original stock engine and use that core energy to power your brand new assault cannon.
