Thrusters are part of the Engines system. They allow fine maneuvering control. Despite producing directional thrust, they use power but no fuel.
The thrusters are placed into the Hull of a Ship and are 1 x 3, with a 2 x 3 area of unobstructed space required for propulsion, giving a total size of 4 x 3.
Thrusters provide 1/5 the thrust of an engine.
Currently, thrusters function even when placed on a piece of hull in the middle of the ship.
