How would this be different from stock Emergency Propulsion?

Re: Captain Kwok\'s Space Empires Nova
 

Emergency Propulsion gives a once-off bonus and has no negative effects (aside from the space it uses).

Re: Captain Kwok\'s Space Empires Nova
 

Couldn't you put an emergency propulsion onto a repair ship and get extra movement for little cost?

Re: Captain Kwok\'s Space Empires Nova
 

Engine wear seems like an interesting concept, but just adds needless complication when you already have the movement, capacity and supply concerns.

Re: Captain Kwok\'s Space Empires Nova
 

As a variante , I think "engines-pack structuration", you can consider that placing the engine to have all the output gas/matter/whatever together can be used as a massive afterburner...
this can be a good replacement for solar sail, which normally is dependend of solar wind

Re: Captain Kwok\'s Space Empires Nova
 

Simply put the emergency propulsion ability ON the engines, like I did for grit econ.

Re: Captain Kwok\'s Space Empires Nova
 

Call them ramscoops.

Re: Captain Kwok\'s Space Empires Nova
 

I like the idea of putting them on the engines, but do you have to make so that the emergency points gained outweigh the movement lost from the engine being damaged?

Re: Captain Kwok\'s Space Empires Nova
 

If you've got a QNP system, you don't have to worry...
It will simply be a question of whether your ship is big enough that the loss of one engine (which may be less than one move point) is worth the bonus move.
