Somewhat related to https://forum.cosmoteer.net/d/10393-the-solution-to-the-problem-of-armored-engines for variable thruster prohibitive zone. It would be nice to be able to toggle a custom prohibitive area (may differ in form and placement). Basically, a prohibitive zone component. Practically, I guess it would always be on to prevent misuse and then turn off based on the option chosen.
This has massive modding possibilities, perhaps not even limit it to toggles, but also buffs.
Like, a modular thruster. If one extends it by placing more components, the dead zone grows, just like the railgun with damage.
