A lesser racial trait, No Ram Scoop Engines sacrifices the ability to build most ram scoop engines in exchange for up to 54 advantage points and access to the Interspace-10 engine.
Specifically the following engines will be unavailable:
- Radiating Hydro-Ram Scoop
- Sub-Galactic Fuel Scoop
- Trans-Galactic Fuel Scoop
- Trans-Galactic Super Scoop
- Trans-Galactic Mizer Scoop
- Galaxy Scoop
The following engines are unaffected:
- Fuel Mizer (for races with Improved Fuel Efficiency)
- Settler's Delight (for Hyper Expansion races)
- Enigma Pulsar (if obtained from the Mystery Trader)
This trait effectively allows a race to travel safely at Warp 10 earlier in the game, due to the lower technology requirements: Propulsion level 11 for the Interspace-10, compared with Propulsion level 16 for the Trans-Galactic Mizer Scoop. However the Interspace-10 is more expensive to build.
Specifications
Base cost: -53AP (rounding can increase this to 54AP)
Advantages
- The Interspace-10 engine will be available.
Disadvantages
- Standard ram scoop engines are unavailable.
