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

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

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

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

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

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?
