I like the idea of a retro thruster but the current one just doesn't work.

Increasing the thrust will allow you to fly full speed to an aleph and stop without going through.

I favour that but put the fuel option for others to comment.

Increasing their thrust might help.

Something I've never found an answer for though, is why retro booster is under expansion, or why its set as a treasure. Seems more like a piece of tech that belongs under garrison, or maybe basic sup. Although I think sup has enough tech tied to it as is.

Bin it. Waste of space, potential misclick target.

Make it free for gataraan only.


On a more serious note either remove it, or change it's cost and usefulness.

Moar thrust!

It's useful now for those who know what they are doing, but not good enough to motivate people to learn to use it. If it could actually stop the scout from full speed with one tank of fuel it would be very nice indeed.

It's already very nice for bamboozling an overconfident int jockey, and proxing him when he's racing to catch up.

/edit see my post lower down

how about lowering the mass until it basically weighs nothing so that no matter how unlikely you are to actually use it, there is no excuse not to mount on your scout (unless your tf or belts)

EDIT:
along with an increase in thrust.

The problem is not about using it, it's about BUYING it. You'd have to be absolutely crazy or rich to buy it, and even if I was rich I still wouldn't buy it.

The changes above do nothing to make it's purchase worthwhile. If I saw any commander buying it, I would mutiny faster than Ozzy and Shiz's mutant clone cyborg.

I voted for more thrust, but it better be a hell of a lot more. Instant stop sort of a thing.
