How to stop my ship?
I put thrusters on each side of my ship, and i have inertia dampeners on. How to do i actually make the ship come to a halt?

It should stop when you stop pressing a button if you have the thrusters in the six directions and the dampners on.
Alright, so you have thrusters on the top, bottom, left, right, front, and back sides of your ship?

You have inertia dampeners on...

Are you possibly making the mistake of turning off your power to stop instead of just not pushing anything?

How massive is the ship? Two thrusters per 100,000 kg seems to be a good benchmark. One thruster for a million kilos won't stop anything
I was able to get it working. For some reason I forgot to put them in the front.

To keep a ship still you need at least 1 thruster in each 6 directions, and to keep it from rotating you need at least 1 gyroscope. Also make sure those thrusters are powered they should have a small blue flame on each of them even when there not thrusting.
