Just a suggestion but can we add a TAD bit of speed and Energy to some engines and leave others the same?
Example: PFE Engine: Low Speed, Slow Acceleration, Large Power Grid
AME Engine: High Speed, High Acceleration, Moderate Power Grid
AFE Engine: Medium Speed, Adequate Acceleration, Low Power...
I was thinking that since the PFE is slow you guys could TWEAK it so we could go a little faster, give it more energy bars and still make it have a high power grid. i dont know how this works honestly, but after careful thinking and seeing that all the ships Devices now have a recharge time, i think its prudent that you guys change the energy usage to the engines and speed adjustments for the Heavyier Engine like the PFE.
Just a suggestion Draf, dont down it yet lol or atleast give the assault ships 2-3 more Aux Gens or give them their own Aux Gen like a Heavy Aux Gen for bigger ships and stations

No. There is a reason why certain engines are slow and have more energy than others. It's a balancing game between speed and power.

maybe because you weren't being serious in making this thread?
No seriously this is what I read in your post:
"Hurr, this drive gives more power, but accelerates slower. This is balanced. i WANT IT TO ACCELERATE FASTER FOR NO REASON WHATSOEVER xD "

Ah, on a serious note, why do we still have AME engines, again? Nobody uses them, and they don't seem to have any obvious advantages.

AMEs may have a purpose now, since ICC and UGTO can't use K'luth technology.
It'll give them speed.

Oh, whoops. Sorry, my bad, I was confusing AME with AFE.
Just substitute AFE for AME in my question.

Cos fighting a hit and run faction, and one with heavy emphasis on EMP damage - having your drives still functioning at below 100% hull is quite nice (full energy, and speed - whereas the other person might not).
It's a defence drive - up to you if you want to use it or not.
