Firstofficered's Thruster Mod

Hello, everyone. Another mod has been somewhat finished, and this one is a little bit different.

Todays mod is a series of thrusters, one designed by Venom, and the rest designed by me based off the first. Each thruster is designed to work like ion thrusters, but when exposed to the air, (the atmosphere of a planet, not an oxygenated room) it boosts its output to create a powerful thrust wave.

The techs down in the lab have decided on calling these the 'Ation Thrusters', and have also kindly provided a few larger versions for those who have varying builds that need extra thrust. They also have provided a prototype thruster, the Alpha Thruster, though that design may not last long.

The Ation Thruster has two features that make it unique. The thruster flame changes color dependent on the amount of thrust applied, and the thrusters power gets a boost when it isn't burning pure, unfiltered O2, such as that found in an atmosphere.

All of these are for small ships, though large ship versions have been planned.

-----------------
Notes:
- Type-B, Type-C, and Type-D Thrusters are still being experimented on atm. Their statistics will most likely change.
- The game appears to hate having multiple thruster emitters. While the flame is shown on a number of them, it doesn't show more then one 'glare' sprite.
