Directional Thrusters

[skunkiferous]

I have been told that "directional thrusters" are coming. I would like to know if one can "future proof" a new ship by adding thrusters in all 6 possible directions now (which makes no difference at the moment), or if I'll have to rebuild the ship anyway when that update comes out?

Only the devs know for certain, but so far, schema has been exceptionally good at future-proofing new additions.

It'll most likely work in a way that you can redistribute thrust to the six directions of movement with a menu or something like that. It won't be based on physical the configuration of thrusters in your ship, that would pretty much break every ship ever.
