altered the flame length damage to be less. i actually had the length of damage increased slightly over stock. this time of around i made it its length of damage less than stock. i did this for more versatility in placement. you still can't cover the thrusters outright, but you do have more breathing room now.

to note, this doesn't change the length of the flame. the flame is still the same. much longer than stock. only the area of damage the thrusters cause.

added some tweaks with the sound.

a bit of code clean up and changed the thrusters sound

simple balance tweaks to the power draw of all reactor drives to increase power consumption by marginal levels. 0.3 - 1.4 MW type increases. also increased idle usage from 0.000002 to 0.00002 (20 watts).

updated thrusters in game descriptions to reflect what the drives are and give a bit of information for those that don't use build hints.

modified building materials to require superconductors. credit goes to user G.A for the idea as it makes sense since these are thrusters that utilize only power. balanced components around to keep the weights the same. my design goal is to simply have power consumption be the balancing deciding factor in moving up in tiers for greater thrust output. having increase weight would be counterintuitive as one of the major reasons for needing more thrust is the weight of the ship. having power consumption being the negative i find to be a fair trade off.

i also did some balancing work on small block thrusters power consumption by increasing the power requirement across the board.

small thrusters:
t1 0.800 KW --> 1.1 MW
t2 1.2 MW --> 2.1 MW
t3 1.8 MW --> 3.1 MW

large thrusters:
t1 3.0 MW --> 3.5 MW
t2 3.75 MW --> 4.25 MW
t3 4.68 MW --> 5.25 MW
