Line 13:
Yes, spawn points are optional. they're listed here as mandatory however because cheaping out on one is absolutely not a good idea and if starters saw this in optional components they'd likely think to themselves: "eh, whatever. I won't die anyways, right?" only to do exactly that and not be able to recover their ship. While not true this makes the guide much better so it's worth-it-ish I suppose? -->
*A [[:Category:Propulsion|propulsion device]] - You can choose between a [[rocket]], an [[IonRocket]], or a [[thruster]].
** Ensure that sufficient [[Cooler|cooling]] is provided while they are active as they generate heat. An IonRocket requires 2 coolers of default size, while a rocket requires 3. The cooling requirements of a thruster depend on its size, with the amount of coolers you'll need being equal to <code>(0.025*V)/20</code><!-- experimentally obtained. breaks down for really small values (the equation governing heat output is actually hyperbolic but can be safely approximated as linear for realistic values) so rounding to the nearest decimal is instructed in the guide. -->, with V being equal to the volume of the thruster (its x, y, and z sizes multiplied together). Round the number you get to the nearest integer'''.'''
