The Official Engine Type Poll Thread

Down below I have 6 engine designs for you to choose from. In the picture they are in order from left to right (1-6) Please vote after looking. Thankyou.

Spoiler:

Right to left?!!?!!?!!?!!!?!!!

OH NO I MEANT LEFT TO RIGHT

Nope already voted, it must stay confusing how it is.

I don't like any of them, here's one I designed:

The one on the far left is closest to what I use. All of the ones here are... hopeless.

I'd like to see some long ones, like the nacelles in Star Trek.

Indeed. But right now I'm using number 4 since portal blocks are too annoying to work with and I'm too lazy to set up a proper engine exhaust.

I was going to make an engine of my own, one slightly more.. awesome. I'll post it tomorrow.

You put a lever on the place that the EXHAUST COMES OUT OF?

I prefer overzealous-ed large engines for hopefully faster craft travel and ultra long range fighting..., maybe make glow-stone block numbers divided by ship total block numbers times however large your ship power-core is how fast you move?

There will be actual engines in the mod. This is just temporary.

Ah will they be singular blocks like the glow-stone stand-ins? and will they be directional? meaning if the exhaust points only to the rear you cant move to either side without forward thrust? Same with up and down as well? Or is it you also will need them to turn in any direction like maneuvering thrusters? Sorry if this seems to be a lot of questions but I want to know as much as I can so I can draw up my ships accordingly

Fr0tsbyte was planning this incredibly complicated system for engines. I think that at least some of the engine types should be placed as a block, but automatically conjoin with engines next to them, to allow for easier control.
