I Very Much Want Inset Thrusters

I have had Space Engineers since just before Warfare II. And just as soon as I was figuring out hydrogen thrusters I wished they could be flush with the ship's hull.

My favorite pass-time with your game is to make fighters. But while people can use passage blocks for large grid ships to set their thrusters flush inside the hulls, there is no vanilla equivalent for small grid.

You guys have been on a spree of DLC inset blocks, but by far I appreciate the inset connectors that you have introduced. And I approve of keeping them at the same component cost as their counterparts. I wish you would do the same thing for thrusters as you did the connectors.

By way of example we have the AQD armored thrusters mod, which I cite more for the look of the thrusters rather than the slightly buffed recipe of components. As an alternative to inset thrusters I don't think small grid thruster covers would go amiss. Though, I have to admit that the thruster mods are clearly more popular on the workshop than the thruster covers if I must choose between the two. Here are the mod examples.

Since the addition of the new connectors and smaller oxygen tank I have been building nearer to vanilla than I have before, and inset thrusters in the form of a full block and sloped variant should be quite happily received by the player base.

So I hope you will realize this addition to the game.
