Gravity Drives

Description
Gravity drives is a mod that adds a gravity drive block.
The gravity drive is like a thruster, except it has no thruster flame and uses internal gravity generators to push the ship forward. (No artificial mass or weight balancing required)
It is meant to be placed INSIDE your ship as a way to quickly boost your ship in the direction it is placed, although you can still place it on the outside of your ship but that really defeats the purpose of having a thruster with no flames and it would be alot cheaper to just use normal ions.

Stats:
- Uses the same amount of electricity as 3 large ion thrusters
- Has the same amount of thrust as 4 large hydro thrusters
- Occupies a 2x2x4 space
- Has no flame to damage it's surroundings, therefore it can be submerged into your ship
- Expensive to create (96 grav comps, 250 super conductors, along with other, less expensive, components)
- Recolorable with skin support
- Has two spinning things on it to make it look cooler when on.

Will this mod get an update just to ensure functionality? I mean i understand it's a simple mod just the last time it was updated was in 2020

it's annoying that you have to place it down and test it to see which way is the front and back, but if you could add an arrow or a marking telling us which way it should face that would be nice.

Hey, fantastic mod, but i have found a bug. if you place one (Creative, I haven't tested survival) then reload the world, they almost entirely disappear. the block is still there, but all of the model except for the little spinning things are invisible. Great mod, I'd love it if this gets fixed.

Ok, thanks

same amount of reduced thrust as ion thrusters have

How much Reduced Thrust for planets?

Was hoping to use this for my Stargate Puddle jumper but the drive was almost the same size as the ship. Any plans for adding a small version?
