📋 About This Mod
Sometimes an intended aesthetic calls for fewer engines; either fewer engines overall or fewer (or zero) small engines to boost the capacity of your design’s more prominent main engines. This mod includes additional higher mass capacity versions of selected vanilla engines so fewer can be used without sacrificing ship performance. No vanilla engines are altered or replaced. I originally put this mod together for my own use, so as not to sacrifice ship performance while focusing on visuals when building heavier ships.
