In Starfield, the engine isn’t merely an accessory; the linchpin orchestrates a spaceship’s voyage through the interstellar expanse. Engines affect a bunch of your ship’s attributes, including its mobility. The Thrust and especially the Maneuvering Thrust specs make engines stand out. If you want an effective ship in space combat, focus on engines that give you the highest Maneuvering Thrust.
Besides that, don’t worry about heavy engines if you have the right reactor to power them up. All engines in Starfield provide the same Crew Capacity, 0.25. Hence, the intention is pretty much to have two or four engines on every ship (remember that you can add pretty much as many weapons as you want on your ship, as long you don’t go outside of three models, so you can combine engines and weapons to reach an integer Crew Capacity value).
As you will see in the table below, higher-tier engines may have one skill requirement: Starship Design. Piloting does not affect your ability to utilize better engines.
