Two ion power cells contains 4 ion cubes, which each hold 5 kilotons of TNT's worth of energy.

The Soviet N1 moon rocket produced a 7 kiloton explosion.

The Neptune Escape Rocket is a much smaller vehicle, intended to go from surface-to-orbit with a single passenger and either no or very little in the way of payload. If anything, 20 kilotons is overkill.

The Neptune is not a faster than light rocket. The Phasegates handle that part, in the same way the player doesn't have to be holding an ion crystal in order to pass through an active warpgate.

You have a point about the power cells only holding 5 times more energy than the conventional power cells. Perhaps the devs should not have put a number on it?
