Thruster
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.
