now correct me if i'm wrong, but small ship = small engine but lower feul consumption
large ship...etc

I think we should add I flight speed to this, e.g. 500k assaults travel faster than a 10k assault

(This is linked to my other idea, as the battleship would in my opinion have to be very expenise but able to move quite fast)

To expand on the first statement

Having a smaller engine in a vehical should take less feul than a proporiational vehical of the same size....

However, sometimes bigger is better, or should i say the power output of an engine does not go up proportional to size, its exponenal, now more power = more speed = faster I-Flight

If people can't see a cost difference, then just make bigger vessals need mroe iron to make the better engines, or have the option to upgrade engines on bigger ships to give speed advantages

After all taking a 500k into battle instead of a 50k gives 10 times the risk!, why not give more incentive, if more people used 500k's then they'd train more faster ;)

actually shouldnt it be opposite? Smaller ship goes faster because its smaller

not really, while that may be true for things like cars, as vehicals get bigger they can go faster, actually about cars, if you made a very small car it could not beat the speed set by the thrust jet car, while the engines are completly different, the engine was huge but allowed a ground vehicle to beat the sound barrier

You have to remember, size and weight don't exist in space. I'm loving that idea Abe; it sounds damned good.

the huge engine gave away lots of force.

F = m x a

the bigger the mass, the more force is needed to push an object.

though the bigger the mass, the faster the acceleration. thus a smaller object with the same force would achieve the same speed but in a little longer time, because the excess force is wasted.

while I wrote this I actually disagreed with myself for a few moments :) a very interesting debate about physics this would be

no but being able to put in more complex, more powerful engines do, nuclear reactors need alot of room but give out sheds loads more power than a same size combustion engine
