2-4 Fuel eg $1M $100M -
5-6 Reaction Engine, eg Fusion Rocket 0.03g, 12mps DV $2,000M 20W

Rate of Construction
SM+5 or 6: $15M per day in the factory.
SM+7 to +10: $1.5M per day in the factory plus 12 tons per hour for assembly in the hanger.
SM+11 or bigger: $1.5M per day factory time plus 4 tons per hour assembly alongside.
Reaction Engine Options:
• Mass Driver $300M: can use anything for fuel, eg powered rock = free fuel or $10k/tank. DV 0.3mps/”tank”, 0.01g/drive But requires Power Plant.
• Nuclear Light Bulb $500M: uses hydrogen @ $10M/tank. DV 0.8mps/tank, 0.01g/drive.
• Fusion Pulse Drive $1,000M: uses nuclear fuel pellets @ $250M/tank. DV 5mps/tank, 0.02g/drive.
• Fusion Rocket $1,000M: uses either hydrogen @ $10M\tank or Water @ $100k/tank. DV depends on thrust and fuel but from 2-12mps/tank, 0.005g-0.03g/drive. I’d vote for water @ DV4mps, 0.015g.
• Antimatter Thermal Rocket $500M: uses Antimatter catalyzed fuel @ $60,000M/tank. DV1.8mps/tank, 0.1g. Can be high thrust and/or use water for x2/3/6 thrust and scaled DV.
