Pax Mount Newton Propulsion System-PMNPS

[TNZ]

If a Newton type propulsion system requires that a bigger ship uses more resources, supplies and must have more space devoted to engines to have the same movement of a smaller ship. Using the engines per move entry in the vehicle size data file to simulate this effect has two drawbacks one that the AI does not get it and the player must know that all available engines must be added to their ships designs to work properly.

Try this idea for using the component enhancement data file to simulate the same effect.
