“

The Skiff is well suited for local planet hopping. High vacuum efficiency for this powerful upper stage drive will get you further.

— Rockomax Conglomerate

”

As of version 1.4.1 this engine has two models that can be switched in the editor.

The different variants of the engine

Despite being claimed to have high vacuum efficiency, the records are actually false when you compare this with the Wolfhound, which is far more efficient, and realize that the 2 engines’ stats are actually swapped, especially if you factor in their real-world counterparts for comparison. Fortunately, this only affects realism and therefore the Wolfhound is higher up the Tech Tree than this engine.

The RE-I2 was inspired by the American J-2 engine.
