Re: [Spaceships] Martian “Gas” Station
An exhausted velocity of 1 km/s is a weak drive. Assuming that the drive tosses out 3 kg/s/metric ton of mass, that would only allow an object with a dry mass of 1 metric ton and a wet mass of 2 metric tons an acceleration of 0.1 g for 1000 seconds (a delta-v of only 980 m/s).
