	* Launcher
	* Sustainer		==== Launcher ====
	* Orbital		Launcher engines offer substantial thrust for their [[Size\|size]] and are best suited for the initial lifting stage of a rocket.
	* Deep Space
			==== Sustainer ====
			Sustainer engines offer a balance of mobility and decent thrust to carry a rocket through the upper atmosphere and into orbit.

			==== Orbital ====
			Orbital engines typically provide lower thrust but decent fuel efficiency to help vessels conduct adjustments and maneuvers within a sphere of influence.

			==== Deep Space ====
			Deep space engines typically provide significant fuel efficiency to facilitate long burns for traveling between distant spheres of influence such as interplanetary trajectories.

KiwiShark: started engines page with some blurbs on type and classifications

started engines page with some blurbs on type and classifications

New page

Engines make the rocket go.

== Types ==
There are six types of engines in the game, defined by the fuel they burn to generate thrust.
* Methalox
* Methane
* Solid Fuel
* Monopropellant
* Xenon
* Hydrogen

=== Classifications ===
There are additional classifications that are used to describe an engine's intended purpose that are joined with its type.
* Launcher
* Sustainer
* Orbital
* Deep Space
