Thruster Upgrades

by versuffer

Adds two balanced higher tier thrusters with enhanced efficiency, larger fuel storages and significantly more thrust (MK2 for mid-game and MK3 for late-game). Thruster upgrades can be unlocked before Aquilo. You can also make thrusters symmetric and increase thruster fuel/oxidizer fuel value to get more thrust.
