About ProtoThrusters
From mod.ioProtoThrusters are a Ion thruster made with the intent to have a unique shape but also fully work in atmo tho still not as powerful as hydros, you been warned!
ProtoTech Ion Thruster (Inspired by Starship Troopers: Invasion)
The ProtoTech Ion Thruster mod is a light weight mod, its brings a non-scripted Ion Thruster doing 1.5x the power of the vanilla ion thruster. Its design allows it to function not only in space but also in atmospheric conditions, making it a versatile addition to your fleet. However, keep in mind that its performance in 1.0 G environments remains untested, so use it with caution in high-gravity zones.
The design is inspired by the John A. Warden battleship from Starship Troopers: Invasion, bringing a futuristic aesthetic that blends power and style seamlessly.
