Congrats on getting an airborne vessel! Depending on what you’re setting this up for, will determine how many thrusters you’ll need. Ideally, you’ll want equal amounts of thrust in each direction, but you’ll likely need more for forward and backwards movement to allow you to slow down faster when fully laden with cargo, especially in atmosphere, since you’ll also be fighting gravity. A good way to tell if you have enough power to move your ship, is to fully fill the cargo container, then watch the power drain as you go upwards, forwards and a direction at the same time. If it maxes out and turns red, you don’t have enough power to run all engines and their efficiency will be reduced when you’re fully loaded with cargo. Don’t forget to add a gyro or two, ( ship size depending) and some armour blocks to protect those squishy, sensitive bits in the inevitable event of hitting things. You’re half way to space now. Keep going!

@@dolphinrapture I was so chuffed when it worked. 😁
Hydro engines need a o2 gen to produce hydrogen but you can just use batteries and charge them by connecting to your base
