Dynamic Laser Compression Modular Thrusters

MODULAR THRUSTERS! Now with over 50 variations!

Huge thanks to Mike_Angel for making the ship in the screenshots to model my thrusters, and to the Immaterium guys for their feedback during the development of these thrusters. And viewers like you.

Updates 12/12/2020 Major change: Reduced the cost of all thrusters by Half for Thruster components, steel plates and Large/Small Steel tubes. Reduced the cost by half for small grid thruster power. 1mw Down from 2mw 9/5/2020 Minor Change: Added Thruster to the block descriptions. Because I'm an idiot and for got it. They'll now read "Modular Thruster (variant here)" 8/22/2020 -Reduced audio 50% 7/21/2020 -Reduced power requirement across the board. Large grid is now 3MW(down from 5) Small grid is now 2MW(down from 5 because I'm an idiot) -Reduced build cost on thruster components. Large grid is now 150 components(down from 225). Small grid is the same -Increased Thrust output for Large grid, is now 1750000, up from 150000. -Decreased Thrust output for small grid, is now 400000, down from 800000(felt a bit over powered for the size given how close that is to the original Large grid) -Changed some audio files, will monitor these and how they perform -Adjusted mirroring on Ramp variants

These are completely new models, that were inspired by the old modular thruster mods. I've made them from scratch, from the ground up. There are 54 variants for large and small grid, including some new shapes. These work in space and in atmo, have a good thrust output but cost quite a bit. I will be working on the balance of them as I go.

Known issues: Some of the blocks have mirroring issues, I'm aware of these. I tried to get these issues fixed, however, mirroring sucks in this game and I gave up. I'll try and fix these eventually.
