Thruster Rebalance

Thrusters need to be adjusted. As it currently is, Small Hydrogen Thrusters are the best option for all functionalities. They have the highest thrust density, and are more fuel efficient than their large counterparts, and Ion Thrusters are not worth the platinum they take to manufacture.

My solution: A comprehensive thruster rebalance (ie; changing a few lines of XML document)

All large thrusters (of the same grid type) should be 9x as powerful, 9x as expensive (of the relevant component), and equally fuel efficient as their small counterparts.

Large grid thrusters should be 10x as powerful, 10x as expensive (of the relevant component), and equally fuel efficient as their small grid counterparts.

Atmospheric thrusters should have slightly less thrust, be slightly more component expensive, and have similar power costs


Ion Thrusters should have the same amount of thrust, be slightly cheaper, and use much less power.

Hydrogen Thrusters should have slightly less thrust, be the same component cost, and use slightly more hydrogen.

These changes would make the thruster sandbox have more diversity and make each type of thruster have a use case.
