Re: Question: Engines and firing order
Engines use 2 wholely separate abilities. Standard movement is added up and then divided by engines per move. Bonus movement is not. In stock, all engines have 1 standard movement. They just have increasing bonus movement. With bonuse movement, you get the worst bonus from all components on the ship that have the bonus movement ability. So, 5 QE and 1 Ion Engine give you a worst bonus movement of 1, resulting in only 6 movement for the ship, rather than 9 with all 6 QE.
Proportions/AIC (and other mods with QNP type propulsion models) primarily use engines with increasing amounts of standard movement and no bonus movement. Mixing true QNP engines does not result in any loss of movement points, unlike mixing stock engines.
