|}

=== Fuel Consumption ===
Improves fuel efficiency. Engines with this technology use only the listed percentage of fuel compared to baseline.

|}

=== Max Thrust (Maximum Engine Power Modifier) ===
Engines can be boosted above normal power output. Higher boost increases fuel use.

|-
! RP Cost
| * || 500 || 1000 || 2000 || 4000 || 8000 || 15000
|}

=== Min Thrust (Minimum Engine Power Modifier) ===
Engines can be reduced in power to improve fuel efficiency.

{| class="wikitable"
! Modifier !! x0.5 || x0.4 || x0.3 || x0.25 || x0.2 || x0.15 || x0.1
|-
! RP Cost

|}

=== Maximum Engine Size ===
Maximum size of engine in HS.

{| class="wikitable"
! Size (HS) !! 25 || 40 || 60 || 100 || 160 || 250 || 400
|-
! RP Cost
