aerospike thruster idea
ive had this idea for a while and only now found out about this website. so there is this concept out in the real world called the Aerospike, in the real world its efficiency is the best of any design however current technology holds back the development of cooling such a thruster nozzle.
i was thinking that the Aerospike could be added to space engineers and since there are two designs that exist it would also make it easy to implement one as a DLC skin and the other as a base game addition. it came to mind that the shops dont get used all that often once you become self sufficient so what if we made it more important to obtain components for the Aerospike, say to start you need to buy blueprints for coolant tank, coolant compatible conveyer tubes and the aerospike itself this then makes it possible to make the thrusters more powerful since you need to purchase specific parts
the linear Aerospike on the right could have converyer ports on the 2 flat sides that dont have propelant, the conical Aerospike would not unfortunately
I like this feedback
just for clarification the 3x3 size of thruster could easily fit the conveyor ports between the thrust walls for the linear

I think the aerospike idea could be used to introduce rectangle thrusters. These then could be used modular, and placed right next to each other to form a seemingly single big thruster.
