Look at this
Then look at this

Yes, but realistically aren't Ion engines incredibly weak at creating thrust but can run for incredibly long periods of time?
What if we just give some bacon paint, some bacon holo-emotes and change Bunker from snow to bacon.
This way, everyone will be happy.
What you should really do, is replace your parts with bacon, so you can cook games and eat bacon
Obviously the wallpaper would be cooler if bacon was incorporated into it.
Heard the same but:
Spoiler
Taken from the page I left the link in OP...
You can reach higher speeds because you can "fire" an ion engine for much longer without having to worry about running out of a chemical propellant, which if you have to worry about eventually slowing down, not running out of fuel comes in very handy.
There's a reason you don't see anyone launching any satellites into orbit via ion engines. Maneuvering, and gradually increasing speed once in orbit or deep space, that's where they shine.
^He's right.
They do not have the thrust to break earths gravity. We're still stuck with the heavy duty liquid fuel based rockets for that... until someone finally builds a tethered orbital launch pad.
To be serious for a moment this is just a joke
The latest craze in thrusters for space flight is microwave technology. They are still figuring out how it works as it is basicly creating thrust without ejecting a propellant.

What about a giant slingshot?
