A "Gravity Drive" (reactionless thuster) block.

While in SE1, a gravity drive is nifty, supported and tanks performance when you get to large sizes... it would be neat to have a "Gravity Drive" block, i.e. a reactionless thruster that just consumes power, and possibly doesn't scale exponentially in thrust and performance cost.

If we get a "Gravity Drive" block, I'd also want any mass blocks on a (connected) grid to be immune to the effects of a gravity generator.

I like this feedback

we need vanilla gravity drive!!!

I'd instead recommend that this is broken where a gravity block from a grid can't effect an artificial mass from the same grid; breaks Newtonian laws.

There are proposals for that case, too. I'm just suggesting that _if_ gravity drives in SE2, then an explicit gravity drive rather than a construct that doesn't scale, or perhaps scales too well... in terms of performance as a drive, and performance at killing a server's performance.
