FRONTIER HELP - ENGINES

INTERPLANETARY DRIVE


"An ordinary, lightweight engine that uses hydrogen fuel contained within the drive. It is not capable of hyperspace jumps but is suitable for small interplanetary Hops. It is equivalent to the Class 1 Hyperdrive but has no hyperspace capability."

SIZE: 4 TONNES
COST: 4500 CREDITS

There are very few uses for the Interplanetary drive, notable exceptions being for bounty hunters, Miners or Fuel Scoopers working within a system. All of these are very low paying jobs, so I recommend that if you have one of these (e.g. if you started off in the Sol System) you sell it and invest in a Hyperdrive. If your engine gets damaged, it is often replaced with an Interplanetary Drive, so you will have to sell it and buy a proper one. Interplanetary Drives run on Hydrogen Fuel.
