Engine rework part 2
So I don't know that you need to make any changes, but I would just suggest removing the language that fewer larger thrusters are better than many smaller ones. At least for SV's, the opposite is true.

Took my vanilla SV into Reforged and swapped around the rear thruster into 4 different configs. All 4 configs hit max velocity of 70 m/s and had max boost of 79 m/s. 7x small jets perform almost identical to 1 large jet, but at considerable CPU savings. My full tank run time was 6.5 min less, but I can live with that.

My end solution was 6 large advanced thrusters and 2 small jets. This pushed me above the performance of 2 med jets with better acceleration, more lift at far fewer CPU. With the 2 small jets, I still hit the max 79 m/s boosted.

Boosting SV thrusters consume triple power and cause overload damage to generators. I've noticed following on my SV:
- Accelerating with normal forward mode gives 39% power consumption.
- Cruising with normal forward mode (engines ON) gives 15% power consumption.
- Accelerating with boosters gives 130% power consumption, generators get damaged.
- Cruising with boosters gives 17% power consumption.
All on a planet, in one direction, auto-brake is off.
So, is there a point to place additional generators making ship heavier and slower, only for speed boost from 70 to 79 m/s?

In space there is another story:
CV boost speed doesn't fade after acceleration (auto-brake is off). So, in space I can fly at boost speed all the time.
SV boost speed is fading after acceleration. So, I can slowly fly (for SV) only at 117 m/s instead of 160 m/s.

Switched from 2 med jets to 6 large advanced thrusters and 2 small jets. It's definitely better. Same max speed on a planet, max speed in space raised to 130 instead of 117, and no generators overloaded. Max power consumption has dropped to 78%.
It's too bad about medium jets, they look cool and perfectly fit the form-factor of heavy fighter.
