=== In Game Description ===
This medium sized fusion drive is commonly found on cruisers and other large warships. They have a focus on durability over power. This drive provides both thrust for main engines and a small amount of power.

=== Gameplay usage ===
Often foregone for the other 5xx series drives to use their potent mobility modifiers.

=== Notes ===
Multiple drives do not inherently affect the mobility of a ship, only provide redundancy, however, the modifiers to a ship's mobility are a combination of all installed drives' modifiers, so installing drives with multiple of the same effect can further affect it's capability (two whiplash drives will provide more speed than one, but a whiplash and standard drive will provide no different speed than a single whiplash). If some drives are disabled, only those drives' modifiers will be removed, which may even result in the ship's mobility ''improving'' in some cases (such as a prowled drive being disabled). If all drives on a ship are knocked out, it will not be able to move altogether.

Most drives have a small and large counterpart. Asides their sizes, small variants of drives tend to have weaker negative modifiers, but are more fragile, produce less power and may or may not have better or worse positive modifiers.

The FM500's Small counterpart is the FM200, which simply provides less power and durability.

=== Lore ===
''The standard for larger warships, which are usually capital ships. Like the FM200, these are designed more for ease-of-use and versatility than specialization, something which the Naval Office graciously thought of since most newbies are going to have their first career on an Axford.''

''The FM500 has a tendency to suddenly go silent despite working as normal, making a lot of inexperienced crewmen panic when the MPA comes knocking for inspection.''
