NPCs only use the normal thruster afaik
I use the enhanced one on all my ships. Even my LSC. I've never lost a thruster to anyone. Think people are too busy trying to not get dead rather than actually try to shoot stuff off.

Don't they have infinite thruster?

No.

Believe me... you'll miss it when it's not there:)
It's like Enhanced Counter Measures on a Gunboat. Only thing they're good for is dispelling Battleship Missiles, but one missile hit and it's gone, and then you're pretty much dead...

Then you'll have 6 people on your arse strafing won't do enough to help you.

As a trader ... yeah, always the best thrusters for my ships, even if I have to pay some money to repair them after Omega-11, Omega-41 and the other radiated systems out there.
Trust me, it's worth it when you encounter exactly THAT situation when you need one! :cool:
After a couple days trying to get on the Order Guard's good side, I've found that using a Roc with thrusters and with engines "on" works well against NPCs. I also found that my Rogue Gunboat sucks fighting equal or smaller ships using engine kill. It doesn't turn quite well.
Why not give each truster a slightly diffrent look?? All my ship choises are about estetics. since it is in the end a RP server you can escape always if you RP good enough!!
