The ship engine is a ship part, an antimatter-powered engine capable of launching a ship into orbit and on interstellar trajectories.
Acquisition
Ship engines can be constructed once the Johnson-tanaka drive research project has been completed. Each requires 260 Steel, 140 Plasteel, 70 Uranium, 6 Advanced componentss, 50,000 ticks (13.89 mins) of work, and a Construction skill of 8.
Summary
A ship needs three engines to be able to launch. It serves no other purpose. It can function under a roof.
Analysis
You can delay building ship engines until the ship reactor is fully activated. This can reduce wealth, and therefore raid points.
