IZ IT POSSIBRU

Hi nommie. I hold the title of Gallic Grand Prix champion, and I fully support this idea.

I kinda saw this in NIghtstalker Universe, you had 2 Thrusters and man holy shi, they were so fast XD but realy awesome!

Basically, you want to make an interceptor intercept harder and be useless at anything else? Idk man. Seems unnecessary and, coupled with the fact that we barely ever see LF's used for anything along those lines, a waste of time that could be spent elsewhere.
LF's used to be nice and I kept some around for catching those nice transports that like to cruise to system wall; now with vhf's and bombers cruising at 375 and 360 it's not needed. There's not really much left in keeping LF's in the interceptor role unless you're going after VHF's.

its an option to your ship. you dont have to have it on. and its for that extra boost of speed that you would want in RPs using LF.
This would also actually encourage more interest into the LF.
"Be useless at everything else"
Ever heard of Balancing? More speed and take away the armor. Simple.
Its an addition. not a permanent change in the LFs

Very nice idea. Since spamming this thing is impossible, it wouldn't be too overpowered. And racing isn't the only option. You can use it in dogfights, to throw off your opponent's aim, for example. But I don't think it should be fuel based AND have only limited durability. Just one of the two. Since if you just have fuel, you'll eventually run out, and you can add a "recharge" time before the next use (when you still have fuel - fuel does not recharge, that is); and if you just have durability, you'll eventually blow up if you overuse it. I'd go more for a durability limit only, to add some spice to fights; if you're not careful, boom. But if you are, you'll be even harder to hit than current LFs. And there should still be a set time between uses. Maybe 10 seconds? However long it takes for the engines to cool down.

OK IM GOING TO BUMP THIS BECAUUSSEEE....

THIS
This means you can have 2 thrusters. 1 is the normal one and the other is powered by fuel or batts!!!
This means it can run for a certain time before you need more!
SO i think it is possible! Thoughts????

I'll just leave this here.

If you mount two thrusters the thrust speed boost is multiplied and both will drain your thruster reserves. In practical terms, twice as fast, drains twice as quick. Doesn't mean you can use it for what you're looking for. One of the issues is that it makes dogfighting even more of an irritating mess than it already is. Dual thrusters are a bad idea for that alone.
But yeah, this is practically possible to do using FLHook. It'd just be a variation of the cruise boost plugin that's activated with a specific piece of equipment. Whether that's actually worth developing is an entirely different matter.
