Maneuver thrusters are a type of thruster used almost exclusively to provide attitude control to spaceships, allowing them to maneuver. Though they produce relatively little thrust, maneuver thrusters are simple devices with a low profile, which makes them attractive options for smaller spacecraft.
Basic information
Unlike other thrusters, maneuver thrusters are single-piece designs, which greatly simplifies their usage. Each maneuver thruster can be addressed individually or as part of a larger group via their device fields, though not as readily as triangle thrusters can. Being cold-gas thrusters, maneuver thrusters are unique in that they produce very little in terms of thrust trails, and have zero light emission while doing so. This can make them a useful option for designers attempting to minimize the visibility of their spacecraft.
