Default Re: [Spaceships] Engine size and performance

The Spaceships design system doesn't concern itself with such realities. It simplifies everything as scaling linearly from SM+5 all the way up, when in real engineering there would be all sorts of non-linear breakpoints and limits. Of course, you can layer such limitations on top of the system if you like, according to your own tech paradigm, whether that's realistic rocket engine design or some FTL system that favours either small ships or large ones.
