Circuit network connection for Space platform thrusters
Suggestion:
Let thrusters connect to the circuit network, like Boilers and Land mines did in 2.1.
Use cases:
Set a target speed via signal, thrusters auto-adjust fuel burn to match it.
Read fuel consumption / thrust output.
Turn off thrusters by condition (e.g. low fuel, near destination) to save resources.
Why:
Currently thrusters just burn at max when fuel is available. Circuit control would let platforms manage fuel and speed dynamically instead of being all-or-nothing.

Dynamic speed controll can be achived by controlling pumps between the fuel/oxidizer and the thrusters.

Ofcource it would be easyer to controll the thruster directly, but would it be more fun? A subjective question for sure...
