The Large Thruster provides large amounts of thrust. One of these is the rough equivalent (both in thrust and energy consumption) of 12 Small Thrusters. it occupies a considerably smaller space than the equivalent amount of small thrusters(2x3 = 6 blocks total area, versus 24 blocks for 12 small thrusters), and is cheaper, making it a viable upgrade from an array of small thrusters. Its only disadvantage compared to small thrusters is that it is considerably longer, however this is rarely a real problem as thrusters are generally pointed outside the ship, towards space (hence, that dimension was ignored in the above size comparison).
As of patch 01.022, Large Thrusters will damage anything behind them for up to 7 blocks in a cross pattern. If the space directly behind the thruster is clear, then the blocks on the side will not take damage.
