The above table would benefit from listing mass, cost per thrust, direction(s) of thrust, area of unusable space, and thrust to mass ratio as those are critical to understanding what the difference in thruster choice actually means. Example, Kroom's Vector Thruster 2 has 6 directional thrust (forward, back, rotate left/right, and lateral/strafe left/right ), only weighs 0.67 tons (261 Thrust per Ton or TPT), cost per thrust (CPT) of 8.57, and occupies a total area of 7 blocks (3 for the housing and 4 no build blocks). Its main drawback is it becomes cost and space/logistically inefficient as a ship gets heavier but is a great value for ships under ~75 tons.
Now lets take an example from ABH and compare the Big Impulse Thruster (BIT) to the Impulse Thruster. BIT costs 30,000 (CPT of 10), requires no additional parts, 4 directional thrust (forward, back, and rotate left/right) has TPT of 500, and a total area of 18 blocks. The Impulse Thruster is 4 directional, costs 10,000, requires an Impulse Drive Control Unit at additional cost of 5,000 and 4 tons. The combined TPT is 200 (CPT of 9.375) and has a total area of 8 blocks. However a single IDCU can support 2 thrusters (I'll call it an Impulse Thruster Assembly, ITA) which changes TPT to 266 (CPT of 7.81), area to 12 blocks, thrust to 3,200, and costs a total of 25,000. On a 200 ton ship, adding a BIT is equal to 206 tons for a TPT of 14.56. Adding an ITA is equal to 212 tons for a total TPT of 15.09. In the end, the ITA can be more easily protected by armor, has more HP, costs 5,000 less, and can be faster than the BIT.
As you can see, once the mass and cost of the ship are included, certain thrusters can be vastly superior. Players can't really tell this now because they would have to whip out a calculator as there are no stats of ships other than tonnage and cost. As a player coming from KSP, ratios of cost to specific impulse and thrust to weight is incredibly important on large ships. ABH thrusters are powerful, but work best with really heavy ships. Lafiel, I suggest you look more at the costs and tonnage of the individual thrusters and their required support modules before making any drastic changes.
