Thrust cones on docked entities should disappear.

It's a bit annoying to get hit in the face with hundred-thousand-degree hyperplasma every time I go around to the back of my shuttle... Just saying.

WHY IS THIS NOT IN GAME!

 

[Megacrafter127]

well, IMO that should be toggleable on a per-dock basis.

But the possibilities! Think about those ever-active thrusters perfectly frying marshmallows.. and the stick they're on.. and the guy holding it!

More seriously, yes, if a vessel isn't speeding up - be it docked or free-floating one - the thrusters shouldn't have their exhaust active.

Simple and effective. I fully agree with this.

Also exhaust may be smaller if less thrusters are active. (maintaining speed while turning)
