This is an answer of what was posted in the B5 mod thread.

From what you posted before, and what I've translated, the difference between the Fission engines and the HKIDs would be the fact that the HKIDs can store 1000x more supplies

If you're talking about B5 fission engines, they have 0 supply storage. 1000*0=0
Their dependance on reactors is something I like and you were probably refeing to supplies stored in their reactors.

Atomic drives == fission engines.
Basic average engine.

Implosion drives == gravitic drives
More MP/KT, but much higher cost, maybe lower fuel efficiency.

HK Ion drives ?? fission engines
(SW only) Slightly more MP/KT than Atomic drive, but nearly unlimited supplies, and almost zero maintenance.

I'm revising numbers.

I'm not sure if a ship using implosion drives should be faster than one with ion drives. Maybe only sligtly more but consume much more supplies (making it require more reactors than usual).

BTW I couldn't find a way to make a Hyperdrive (emergency energy) + a Hyperdrive Motivator (0 building, 1 repair SY) consume a lot of supplies as they are supposed to.

Every turbolaser gun is fired by 1 or 2 exclusive gunners each with indipendent sensors and computer assisted targeting. (some even have their own small redundadnt power source to continue firing if central power fails)
As I see it every weapon should be able to target enything without a multiplex tracking. But that's impossible, so I'll give them a built-in insanely strong multiplex tracking (and ISD carries ~150 weapons) or maybe included in a targeting computer (combat sensor).
