added new room, that can only be placed along the hull and only on opposite sides. Thrusters greatly enhance the ships performance during collisions or battle by improving its Maneuverability (thats new, too!). I will add the Landing Gear with same symmetrical building method soon. There might also be asymmetrical thrusters for asymetrical fuselages (or if you want to squeeze a single one in somewhere), but with less effect on maneuverablity.

...and I changed the speed unit from pls to pcc (percentage of lightspeed) - sounds better I think.

Please not more rooms we have to stuff into a single hull.
You make it too hard for us to build a ship. xD

that seems more like an optional room jimy XD and besides, remember, the ships we currently have available to us are only the smallest of all those possible, just imagine a cruiser and how many decks THAT might have XD plenty of room for thrusters

Battle cruiser ultima!

And 50 deck 200 missile 100 cannon 400 marine, ship killing machine!

Oh, yeah, well I can't wait to find out what happens when I max armor the smallest ship possible, loaded with high performance engines and assault craft against a battle ship.

It will be interesting to see the outcome.

Concerning the speed of ships you added recently: Why not use "c" as it is commonly denoted as the speed of light in vacuum? It would give the game are more professional touch.

In this thread we can see that the speed of the ship is 63pcc. So that would be 0.63c.
But what about interstellar travel? In Alien 1 Lambert stated that the Nostromo would need 10 months for the travel from Zeta Reticuli to earth. The distance between earth and Zeta Reticuli is 39 light-years, so the ship would travel at a speed of 46.8c - which is a lot by the way. A speed of 0.63 would be enough for interplanetray travel but by far not enough to reach other systems.
So how about ftl-drives? We´ll probably need them to expand and build better worlds .

It was so fast sir it flew by all the defences!

We're screwed!!!!!!

Something along those lines
