What are the vital differences between the capital thruster and the enhanced thruster? Does a capital ship get a particular benefit from using the capital thruster as a opposed to the enhanced thruster?

The capital one has a lot more hitpoints.
Btw, when you destroy someone's thruster with missiles/torpedos/mines, he can't use his afterburn, and will die very quickly if he's in a bomber or fighter.
The advanced one drains a bit less, though.
In my opinion, fighters and bombers should be forbidden from mounting cap thrusters.. but some people do it to have an advantage.

Capital thruster has more durability so it's harder to blow off the side of a ship. Fighters and bombers can mount them? THat's not right....

the capital thruster has more hitpoints / durability - it survives a lot more blast / direct damage.

Of course, why even have a thruster for caps when a battleship cant mount it.

Because everyone knows battleships are for capwhores =P

lol... ass...
I would think you would want to destroy the thruster first, or maybe shield, My priority would be thruster, just imagine going 90 in a fighter and getting SN'ed ahaha

well - battleships cannot mount thrusters - yes
but some battlecuisers, cruisers, destroyers, gunboats - a gunboat without a thruster is as dead as a fighter without one.
i know that gunboat players hardly consider themselves part of the "capital ship faction" - but gunboats are capships. - in a way... those supertransports are capital ships, too... and for them, a capship thruster has its values.
anyway - a capship thruster survives more damage than the ship - most probably.

It's actually max 79 speed in a fighter.
I think it's because capital ships have bigger hitboxes for the thruster or something, which would make them insanely easy to blow off if it had the same hitpoints as an advanced.
