Is your capital ship too slow to be useful in battle? Use these!
Need to get your capital ship onto a planet without ending up as a crater? Use these!
Want to get places fast? Use these!

Ideally, you'll want to group these and set an option to turn them on/off. You won't want them if you're trying to maneuver.

Just something I whipped up really quickly out of this, because I wanted a more balanced version (with better colour too!).

"balanced"

Thrust Output:

Small Ship Variants:
Small: 10 MN
Large: 100 MN

Large Ship Variants:
Small: 1000 MN
Large: 1000000 MN

Power Usage:

Small Ship Variants:
Small: 50 MW
Large: 200 MW

Large Ship Variants:
Small: 500 MW
Large: 5 GW

Each thruster also requires far more components to assemble, making them much heavier as well.

Edit 1: Significantly increased power output.
Edit 2: Decreased power consumption. (Seriously, who has 10 GW reactors anyway?)
Edit 3: Decreased glare when idling.
Edit 4: GUI management, etc.
Edit 5: Thruster damage box scaled way the heck down, flare and sound changes
