Can you give some details about how this works?
How similar is it to the P&N v2 propulsion style?


Kadste has posted some examples.

Basically most medium sized ships will have 6 engines and 6 engines per move, so each ion engine (with 6 standard movs) gives 1 mov and work very similar to the original game.
Small ships will have less than 5 engines per move and move faster with fewer engines and I got tired of adding 255 engines to a massive ship with 255 engines pre move so I just gave the large ships 5 eng/move and 2 engines.


The same Heavy Destroyer using quantum engines (9 standard movs) will move at 9*6/6=9 but with only 1 engine at 9*1/6=1.5 (rounded down to 1).
And a Light Scout with 2 Ion engines will move at 6*2/1=12!

Also, congratulations. You are the first mod (to my knowledge) to include a properly working Modinfo.txt

Acutally I have your're program installed and now I always launch SE4 using it. I made the modinfo.txt using it and hitting the save button.
