For more information see here Bug Report Template Build: v1.9.4 Mode: creative Mode: SP SERVER NAME: SEED-ID: If applicable: MODIFIED PLAYFIELDS: Reproducibility: Always Severity: Medium Type: Summary: ThrustersNeedOpenSpace option bugged Description: When starting a new creative game and setting ThrustersNeedOpenSpace true in the game options and restarting, CV thrusters that are clearly not blocked (i.e. newly spawned ships, a thruster attached to a CV starter core) will be labeled as blocked and will not fire. Steps to Reproduce: 1) Start a new SP creative game 2) edit gameoptions.yaml and add ThrustersNeedOpenSpace: true to the SP, Creative block 3) Restart game 4) Load in any stock CV, sit in the cockpit and you will get a warning about blocked thrusters. For some reason this happens to <R> right thrusters consistently. I play on a server with this setting on so I like to test my thruster blockage first in creative. Below screenshot shows the stock Albatross CV. Clearly nothing in the way of that right facing thruster. Also I noticed a downward facing thruster on another CV with the transparent shutters (obstructs thrusters: false) that was also considered blocked.

Escarli is correct. It's a feature they partially implemented and abandoned. It was never fixed to work correctly. The devs have said they have no plans to fix it and also say it should not be used. However, that's not noted anywhere in gameoptions.yaml to my knowledge. Now you know.
