Force Needs Alignment
A Thruster pushes along its own axis. If that force misses the creation's center of mass, it also creates rotation, which can be useful for control or disastrous for a cargo vehicle.
- Test one axis at a time with low power.
- Mount matched thrusters symmetrically when stable motion is the goal.
- Add a clear shutoff control before increasing power.
