Better Engine Room

Description
Thrusters have always been a vulnerability, especially for larger ships. You can't place armor between your hull and your thrusters, for the thrusters need your crews to supply them. While Engine Rooms can supply thrusters, they can only supply adjacent thrusters, meaning themselves must be exposed to enemy fire. I don't like how everything goes like that.

Engine Rooms power and provide bonus to thrusters within 5 meters, rather than only the adjacent thrusters. You can now place armor between engine rooms and the thrusters, making them less a vulnerability. Also, Engine Room bonus can now additively stack. Two engine rooms affecting a single thruster meaning +100% propulsion.

This last part is no-deal for me, otherwise good idea but this change is a big no

Replace = "<ships/terran/engine_room/engine_room.rules>/Part/Components/PowerDistributionBuffProvider/GridDistance"
With = 6
}

thought id let you know theres a bug since newest update for large and huge thrusters crews wont load power to those thrusters. removed engine rooms and crews filled the engine rooms.

sounds perfect for my mini death star, the rear thrusters are heavily shielded but this will add more armor.

I second Thundercrafts request please!

This is a nice mod. I really do like it! :steamthumbsup:
I wanted to ask, though:

Would you consider adding support for the "Advanced Engine Room" added by the Extended Tech Tree Mod ? Would that be possible? (I asked the author of Extended Tech Tree Mod about this possibility and was told to ask you.) Never mind the stacking engine room bonus, I'd just be happy with extending the range to 5 meters or so.
