Adds giant thrusters that can be built with shuttle engines to have a more balanced Gravship progression, which normally has a huge jump after mining your first asteroid and then completely stops.
Giant Thruster build requirements:
- 400 Steel
- 150 Vacstone Blocks
- 8 Components
- 1 Advanced Component
- 1 Shuttle Engine (you can get these by deconstructing empire shuttles after the forced landing quests, failed bestowing ceremonies etc. or just buy them from exotic traders)
- Advanced Gravtech research
You can have 2 giant thrusters per gravship. Each giant thruster increases your max launch distance by 40. This mod also nerfs Large Thrusters by limiting them by 4 per ship and reducing their range to 15 from 16. This gives you a maximum launch distance of 180 instead of the vanilla 136. The reasoning behind this is because I didn't like how much of a powerspike Large Thrusters gave (especially with my [url=https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3531454791]other mod[/url] that changes your fuel consumption based on air resistance and max launch distance) despite being relatively easy to build and having no further upgrades to your gravship launch distance throughout the game, so I wanted to nerf mid game gravships while adding a late game thruster that would allow me to use the shuttle engines I have, that have been rusting in my storage shelves. If you want a version that doesn't nerf large thruster, write it in the comments.
