Rider's Modular Thrusters: Rebalanced

So, what is this? It is a version of this Warbros mod, which is, in turn, a reupload and fix of Rider's Thrusters, which were demolished by some flag-happy id..., erm, bad guy. However, Warbros are out of SE for a while, and by recent update the thrusters became a bit broken: they somehow got insane dampening (despire Ced23Ric setting them to vanilla level in January), and they were out-of-balance compared to vanilla.

Short summary:
Original models, textures, etc — (c) Rider
Atmospheric update, initial dampener setup, thruster damage fix — (c) Ced23Ric

My version, reuploaded with Ced23Ric complete permission, contains several fixes and rebalance (don't worry, the thrust power and consumed energy is still same). The dampeners are now ultimately set to 1 (vanilla behavior, dampening is exactly as powerful as manual control), the thrusters are now compatible with ship sound system, and I also fixed them for new GFX update (if you experienced a bug when modded thrusters don't have elongated exhaust flame even on full thrust — that's it, these thrusters now have proper flames). And this mod uses the same block IDs, so you can simply remove the Warbros version and install this version — all your ships will be fine, until they are hovering on a planet and relying on old insane dampening value.

Also these thrusters' awesomeness now come with a price: while both consumption and thrust force is the same, the thrusters now require custom component (Ion Thruster Grid Array), which is based on vanilla component, but is a tad heavier and much more costly.

P.S. And no, nor this mod, Warbros version, or original Rider's thrusters are not a ripoff of Sektan modular thrusters. Although they look similar and are built on similar principles, the Rider's thrusters were made from scratch.
