Thrusters

[AeternusDoleo]

My experience:
Power drain -can- be important if you use thrusters to escape from a pirate who is also in a transport, and engage in a CD war. On standard maneuvering, I've found that I rarely need more then an advanced thuster, though I'll usually use an enhanced version.

Yes, the only differences between thrusters are their hit points and drain. There should be more variety in them, say - speed.

I'll bet you a few mils that everyone and their mother will only use the fastest thruster available and simply feather it. It would cause the need for a cruiser and possibly gunboat rebalance. Cruiser speed is significantly affected by thrusters.
