Ship Drives and Thrusters

Star Drives are for travelling in the galaxie, while Thrusters are for ship movement in combats.
In order, from worse to best:

Drives

Plutonium Fission Drive A ship with this type of star drive moves at six times the speed of light. Solar Plasma Drive A ship with this type of star drive moves at eight times the speed of light. Solar Flare Sail A ship with this type of star drive moves at ten times the speed of light. Hydrogen Fusion Drive A ship with this type of star drive moves at twelve times the speed of light. Ruby Laser Drive A ship with this type of star drive moves at fourteen times the speed of light Ion Flux Warp Drive A ship with this type of star drive moves at sixteen times the speed of light. Graviton Implosion Drive A ship with this type of star drive moves at twenty times the speed of light. Nebular Hydrogen Drive A ship with this type of star drive moves at six times the speed of light through both empty space and nebulae. Nebular Sled Drive A ship with this type of star drive moves at twelve times the speed of light through both empty space and nebulae. Hyperdrive A ship with this special type of star drive can teleport to any star system in the sector. It also requires nearly two months to recharge.

Thrusters

Chemical Rocket Thruster A primitive chemical propulsion system used by all space faring races as a sub-lightspeed thruster. Pulse Detonation Thruster A high performance, low cost and very economical propulsion system that utilizes ignited plasma pulses. Fusion Tube Thruster A stable, powerful sub-lightspeed thruster that utilizes ambipolar diffusion and confined plasma. Ion Impulsor Thruster An advanced propulsion system that utilizes accelerated Xenon ions to produce a strong impulsed thrust. Reactionless Thruster An advanced thruster system that creates a polarized field of gravitons ahead of a starship causing it to constantly fall forward in space at high sublight speeds.
