[suggestion] Subgrid thruster control, built in
Under Consideration
Would be a HUGE upgrade to be able to control thrusters on subgrids in vanilla without the need for scripts
it doesn't even need to be fancy on the level of having rotors and hinges move based on inputs (though some way to do that would be cool? maybe a block that does it 'mechanism controller?')
the ability to have thruster pods than can pivot and still work without needing to do complex override setups built in would be huge
ships can have folding wings with thruster pods on them without them being dead weight same goes for anything that can transform
walkers and mechs having thrusters on their limbs etc
maybe it can only work with the joint locked?
This! but also with subgrid wheels!

I think it would be best if we could simply set a remote control to be connected to a different control/cockpit and simply have it work as if you were controlling the 2 grids at the same time. And then another remote and so on.
While this might be slightly less than what sub-grid control script does it makes it versatile.

This should be mandatory, id also say specific rotational parts for this task would work as well, maybe it makes it easier to code instead of making rotors do everything

I would love to be able to make thruster pods for VTOL style ships. Space Engineers crew you guys have to get this working make it a simple submenu within a rotors or hinges menus. We'd really appreciate it.

I think the best way to implement this would simply be to have a checkbox on rotors/pistons/hinges/connectors/etc to allow/block pass through of movement controls.
That way, you could have all the flexibility to handle all kinds of subgrid thrusters, wheels and such, and also gain the ability to use docked ships as assistance, instead of having them be either dead weight or actively fight against movement.
