I mean forget, you should probably have some on the front so you can actually slow down, too.
Because there's no air resistance in space, it'd actually be best to have thrusters on the SIDE of the ship, instead of only on the back. I mean forget, you should probably have some on the front so you can actually slow down, too.Doesn't really matter where the thrusters are, only in relation to the center of gravity of the ship.
Exactly, the center of gravity will be "off", as I said, and the thrusters will need to be put in some weird ass place.
loving asymmetrical spaceships, wouldn't they fly like stuff in space?
No, you said:Referring to the shape, which would only be relevant when the vehicle was immersed in a fluid.There's no mention of weight distribution.
I know there's no air resistance in space, but the center of the ship will be a bit "off", and you'll have to put the thrusters in some weird ass place.
I can see how rockslide would be confused. We all know that space is full of fluid.
Your fluid.

THERE IS NO GRAVITY IN SPACE
But there is such thing as a center of gravity. If the thrusters aren't balanced according to where it is, the ship will barely fly straight.
No, one thruster anywhere on an object in deep space will press the entire thing parallel to its trajectory.Regardless of position.
But if there is some other outside influence on the ship, like hitting something else large enough to move it, then one thruster isn't going to be very helpful for steering back on course.
