Ideally, you'll want to group these and set an option to turn them on/off. You won't want them if you're trying to maneuver.

Just something I whipped up really quickly out of this, because I wanted a more balanced version (with better colour too!).

"balanced"

Thrust Output:

Small Ship Variants: Small: 10 MN Large: 100 MN

Large Ship Variants: Small: 1000 MN Large: 1000000 MN

Power Usage:

Small Ship Variants: Small: 50 MW Large: 200 MW

Large Ship Variants: Small: 500 MW Large: 5 GW

Each thruster also requires far more components to assemble, making them much heavier as well.

Edit 1: Significantly increased power output. Edit 2: Decreased power consumption. (Seriously, who has 10 GW reactors anyway?) Edit 3: Decreased glare when idling. Edit 4: GUI management, etc. Edit 5: Thruster damage box scaled way the heck down, flare and sound changes
