Quasi-Newtonian Propulsion (a la the P&N model), utilizing mounted engines. The actual component size of the engine is god-awful huge, forcing mounts to be used to bring them down to size. The point is pretty much to prevent the need for huge numbers of engines on large ships (such as P&N Battlemoon).

Got it in one ... and P&N's battlemoons, with their thirty-to-fourty maximum-tech engines just to move at speed 1 were exactly the inspiration behind mQNP, heh! I shudder to think how many ION drives it'd take to move a battlemoon.

Actually, I know that -- IIRC the Battlemoon in P&N needs 200 engines per move, so ... sixty-seven (67) Ion Drives, generating a total of 201 move points, will do the deed.

The discussion on it started somewhere in the middle of the AoW mod thread, I think. I only glanced at it, since I don't have much skill or interest in the area of mod creation at the moment

Actually the mQNP idea came up within days of the release of the current Gold Version patch (v1.78 IIRC).
