This would suit an ejection system, or maybe a missile battery, as well as an emergency all-stop/avoidance capability. :selike:

Lemme add my voice to RazersEdge.
A small hydrogen thruster with MASSIVE output, and terrible fuel efficiency would be great for an emergency booster.
This thing is just too huge for that purpose.
RazersEdge Nov 22, 2017 @ 5:16pm 
Any chance of a high powered, high fuel consumption Hydrogen thruster?
Skellitor301 Sep 14, 2017 @ 4:22pm 
If I could make a mod sugestion, one booster I was hoping to find but couldn't is an instant boost for an ejection system, like you find in most modern military craft that blow out the canopy and then thrust the pilot seat out to safety. I would love to see or find a mod that adds tiny boosters that shot a powerful burst, for the purpose of ejection systems.

Look Great In the interior of an Engine room asd well. Only 2 bugs i have found so far. 1 puting a sliding door on the wider suface of the thruster causes the whole large grid to flip out. 2 there are points around the thruster were its airtight and some others that are not. I just encased the thusters in armour anyways and leave them naked in the engine rooms n such were it looks amazing with an industrial theme
NachoSplit Feb 20, 2017 @ 1:03pm 
These are perfect Engines for very Large ships. If I can offer my opinion these are better off just being large industrial thrusters u would put on a humungous flag ship wich I have already done and it alows for even better frame rates because u dont have 100 thrusters to manouver the thing so your not downing in particle effects for just engines on a ship alone. Great mod here. These are essentially suoer indutrial ion mega thrusters IMO.
V4D4RS F1ST Feb 4, 2017 @ 11:56pm 
I agree. It should take damage as it is used and need repairs. maybe 15 seconds before it burns out and a anti-grav emergency thruster block that can only be turned on then it gives 45 seconds of thrust (to escape or exit atmosphere) but cannot be deactivated and must be repaired before reuse.

For the planetary thruster instead of having a high power consumption simply make a huge combustible resource cost because it should seem as if it is a single use solid fuel thruster.
Azirahael Jan 24, 2017 @ 4:47pm 
Doesn't seem 'Emergency' enough.

I'd suggest an even smaller, lighter, cheaper version with an even higher fuel consumption.
That possibly burns out as it's used.
Jonas Dec 17, 2016 @ 11:39pm 
exactly what i've been looking for since i saw the concept in No man's sky, thanks for creating this mod
person man Jul 6, 2016 @ 9:28am 
(general grievous) activate the emergency booster engines
Aulex May 27, 2016 @ 6:22am 
Hi, can this booster be used as an emergency "brake" for big ships?
Shroom May 26, 2016 @ 2:38pm 
@black.bravo.charlie that is something you will want to work out on your own using other blocks. I do not believe there is a detachment functionality currently built into the game.
Devil Apr 24, 2016 @ 1:38pm 
can you make one thats 1/2 the size?
Sierra-B232 Apr 16, 2016 @ 11:23pm 
hey, are you bale to make the thrusters come off with a certain key like this? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uSYF2FztUnU
Sincerity Mar 25, 2016 @ 8:41pm 
Hi make please ability that thruster slowly damages itself and blocks around, i think you know how to make it =)
Merc Feb 14, 2016 @ 3:39pm 
how does the emergency battery work?
Dai'khairai Jan 13, 2016 @ 4:43pm 
he mentions he dosnt have any space left for more friends (now thats a problem you'd like to have huh?) what is the limit anyway ?
great mod by the way, a few times too powerfull i over built with my batteries like i normally do to over componstae for the deficiencies of the normal power blocks and ended up desintagrating my ship drone cause it had way more manuvering prowess than i expected and blew its self up
Antinov Jan 12, 2016 @ 11:29am 
As others have said, a hydrogen based version of this, preferably with a matching tank, would be most awesome. Something that could be tacked onto cap ships as a self contained unit, so when spent, it could be decoupled via connectors.
Tzeentch's Aeldari Spirit Stones Jan 6, 2016 @ 3:49am 
it would be nice if this was a hydrogen version that jettisoned when it was empty, that would be so cool
Uncia Nov 24, 2015 @ 8:36am 
Any chance we could get a hydrogen version of this?
Braxbro Nov 2, 2015 @ 3:16am 
Sk4, he has a mod for it ;P

@Rikkavidu: I'll update ecoin soon
Alex the PIZZA MONSTER Oct 7, 2015 @ 8:49am 
could you write a script or so that can be activated andwhen the batteries are empty they are set to recharge and the boosters are turned automatically off?
Rikkavidu_GER Oct 6, 2015 @ 3:06am 
Hi Sektan, your Mods are so good. You are a so good Modder. Can you do what for this Modder and the Gamers it use this Mod?

We need DirectX11. Your Coins are too weight in the Inventory.
Sandst4rm Oct 5, 2015 @ 9:28pm 
How the heck did you get the atmosphere in the planet on the vid???
Prof. hulk Oct 5, 2015 @ 5:25pm 
keep up the good work so far i havent seen one mod i didnt want
Loxachi Oct 5, 2015 @ 4:17pm 
@Sinn3246 the Star carrier serise is damn good! dont forget the enevitable demise of your ship if someone hits that power tap tho...
The Autistic Squirrel Oct 5, 2015 @ 4:06pm 
I've been reading a book called Star Carrier and they have these singularity drives. You should come up with something relatively small, massive power consumption with massive acceleration. Hell if you could develop a new type of power generator, you could call it singularity power tap or quantum tap or something required just for those drives, oh man baby! using the gravitational forces from tiny black holes to pull your ship in any direction, love it!
Sev87 Oct 5, 2015 @ 7:07am 
Damn, i imagine a scene from one of the Halo books iirc, when Cpt. Keys invented the so called "Keyes Maneuver". He is starting chemical emergency rockets to raise up his cruiser to evade enemy fire. I need you bossters, and i need them now, for the "Pandora Maneuver".
XCanG Oct 4, 2015 @ 11:59pm 
Setup 2 timer block: 1)time 2 sec, action: enable booster, start timer 2; 2)time 1 sec, action: disable booster, start timer 1.
Lumios Oct 4, 2015 @ 8:37am 
Anyway you could differentiate the batter with a simple logo or something? As always, wonderful awesome work!

DarkRubberNeck Oct 3, 2015 @ 9:27pm 
Now if only it was possible for them to be modded to charge. That way you can keep them on all the time, and when you use them they boost for a short but powerful period of time before needing to recharge.
Anubis4123 Oct 3, 2015 @ 7:56pm 
I think these would fit nicely as separable take-off engines for super-large ships built on planet surfaces, much like the engines used by the Pillar of Autumn on Halo Reach's last level
Raven Oct 3, 2015 @ 1:04pm 
looks familiar...
Thedus Oct 3, 2015 @ 12:33pm 
anyother flame colors?
JWA Oct 3, 2015 @ 11:19am 
These look awesome and fit great on my battlestar but it would be really nice if we could recolor the outer skin because the yellow is pretty glaring...
Dragon Crisis Core Oct 3, 2015 @ 11:17am 
Sektan love the idea behind this mod and being compact but vrses your line of thruster designs power consuption is a bit over the top vrses output considering Cratos outputs nearly 234.2 mn of thrust and only needs 2gw power. (in game stat) the emergency booster (large) only outputs 69.2 MN but needs 1.6 GW. Though I understand if this was the requested stats for it, just thought id toss out the query.
Hand Oct 3, 2015 @ 10:22am 
Nice model and yeah makes me think of halo too,

I was wondering with the rumors of atmospheric thrusters in the files and links to hydrogen fuel being used for them, would this mod perhaps be alterd in the future so this thruster would be atmospheric once they are added to game?

I think this would serve better as a some kind of launch booster. that said from what ive seen of planets you dont realy need much thrust to keep a ship hovering on planets.
Mittens Oct 3, 2015 @ 7:39am 
This is an amazing concept, anybody else getting flashbacks to Halo Reach, the pillar of autumn launching with those absolutely massive takeoff thrusters?
FakeFox Oct 3, 2015 @ 6:31am 
Thats a nice concept, should work even better with max speed mods. =)
Sektan  [author] Oct 3, 2015 @ 6:10am 
When they finished the planet so it probably I'll edit.
SievertChaser Oct 3, 2015 @ 6:02am 
With what we've seen in the Teasers, we don't need these. But I really hope we will! And especially that you'll have the opportunity to retrofit them with fuel consumption.
Astr0_Kn0t Oct 3, 2015 @ 5:12am 
Just what I needed. Now I can make staged high powered rockets that will lift components to orbit of planets.... when planets get here.... *twiddles thumbs* :KSmiley:
jackik Oct 3, 2015 @ 3:47am 
this could get a station moving! think about it. A big station with 6 of these, one in each direction, would be a moving station.
StormSpiritGB Oct 2, 2015 @ 11:17pm 
perfect now maybe Big Blue Titan might be planet fall capable with thses suporting landing or take off
LookAtMyHorse Oct 2, 2015 @ 10:02pm 
1,6gw consumption on large ship right?
Yual Oct 2, 2015 @ 6:47pm 
you know ... gravity goes less affected mass. blue ships = only 8 little thruster is enought to fly
