New Super-large "Helium" Thruster Variants

I thought about the prospect of adding a new resource into the game; Helium.

Solid Helium; mined from the cores of asteroids or poles of the moon-like planets specifically, this resource can be refined into Helium Propellant for use in the new Super-large Fusion thrusters. These thrusters would be designed for use on massive craft types, and therefore have far more acceleration, power and physical size over the current Hydrogen and Ion engines.

They'd be expensive to produce, but the idea is that you only need two to four of them to add up to the power of several hydrogen thrusters.

These thrusters are only for interplanetary use however, and if damaged on a planet with atmosphere, they can cause massive damage.

Ion = no atmospheric travel, expensive

Atmospheric = Self explanetory, expensive-ish

Hydrogen = interchangable, expensive

Helium thrusters could be not as powerful as hydrogen, but it could be used instead of ion or hydrogen at the start of the game.

Helium = Interchangable, expensive-ish
