How about a 'propulsion core' made of upgrade blocks? the more you have touching each other, the more maximum thrust you can have coming out of your go fast nozzles. It would essentially be internal thrusters, without that internal thrust feel of shame.

Is it possible to reduce the hitbox of the invisible, placeable upgrade parts to be only 1x1 on the large versions? I'm building designs with thruster units at 90 degrees, firing into a common void, and it just happens to be where the invisible portions of the upgrade blocks overlap, as far as build grid is concerned.

Hi, Is that possible to make it compatible with Hull's Economical Hydrogen Thruster srcipt?

just some idea for the upgrade blocks, maybe the 2x1x1 slope pieces as upgrade blocks with the base as the thruster upgrade and the tip just with just a circular cutout for matching looks

Hi, the only thing that i would like to say is, why make the upgradable large ion thruster different in size compared to the normal one ? I've been trying to upgrade my builds who had two large ion thrusters, and now i cant fit 2 upgradable, its a little "disappointing" for me, but i must be the only one, so..
Why ? I dont wish for you to convert it like the normal one personnally

Would you be willing to add something similar to this? https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=570950770 - essentially, it seems to be a addon for thrusters, that allows them to provide some thrust in a reverse direction. I'd love to see some versions of that along with the upgrades. Could possibly have some versions which do both, but the thruster upgrade is weaker - or more expensive versions, that provide the full benefits of both.

Hey, I just came up with a small idea while building a ship.

Can you make a block that goes to the front of the thruster and covers the thrust damage area?

I was building a ship and decided to hide the thruster, inside the hull, but it felt wrong because there was some space inside the ship and even tough it would be hidden, it didn't look good when exposed. Also helps with thruster placement, because you can see where the damaging area is without using mods like Buildvision.

Would you be willing to do a version of this with the new sci-fi thrusters?

yeah, i would ask the same, both atmos and ion

I'll do some drawing and see if I can come up with a design I like. I don't want to just copy/pasta Keen's models (not that I see them in the SDK, but I didn't look super hard). But I agree, I do like the look of the Sci-fi thrusters so hopefully I can capture a similar feel.

Would it be possible to add a model for the upgrades thats twice as deep so it also visually takes up the bounding box? even if you just slap a second model in front of the other? I'd like to use these with my thrust covers mod, but with your current models it leaves a gap.

Could you please add an upgrade module that increases fuel efficiency as well? It could be quite expensive for balance, but i currently use the tiered pack with the tier 4s having 16x vanilla thrust output. They guzzle fuel like crazy, they drain my 8 large hydro tanks pretty damn fast. Si I would love to see an upgrade that gives 16x thrust and like 5x efficiency from vanilla. Thanks in advance.

How about adding longer upgrade cowls? As they are now they aren't that visible, especially the angled ones. I like the way they look and I like the idea of the cowls helping the thrusters blend in with geometry of my ships.
