Thrusters for both small and large ships require reactor energy and apply two different kinds of thrust. A thruster applies its maximum thrust while stabilizing and only 2/3 of maximum thrust when using the movement keys. This means a ship will stabilize faster if the pilot does not activate any maneuvering controls.
