    /**
    @brief
        The Engine class provides propulsion to the SpaceShip.
        
        There are many parameters that can be specified:
        - The <b>relativePosition</b>, specifies the position relative to the center of the SpaceShip the Engine is mounted on.
        - The <b>maximal speed</b>, there are four maximal speeds that can be specified: The <b>speedfront</b>, the maximal forward speed. The <b>speedback>, the maximal backward speed. The <b>speedleftright</b>, the maximal speed in y-direction of the SpaceShip coordinate frame. The <b>speedupdown</b>, the maximal speed in z-direction of the SpaceShip coordinate frame. All maximal speeds (naturally) have to be non-negative.
        - The <b>acceleration</b>, there are five types of acceleration that can be specified: The <b>accelerationfront</b>, the forward acceleration. The <b>accelerationbrake</b>, the braking acceleration. The <b>accelerationback</b>, the backward acceleration. The <b>accelerationleftright</b>, the acceleration in y-direction. The <b>accelerationupdown</b>, the acceleration in z-direction. All accelerations have to be non-negative.
        - The <b>boostfactor</b>, specifies the factor by which boosting increases the speed. This has to be non-negative, as well. Beware that maximal speeds can be overcome through boosting.
        - The <b>template</b>, the name of the engine template. Allows for parameters of the Engine be set trough a template.
