Thruster mechanics as the game stands

[Oculus Rex]

So I've just started playing the game again after an extended period playing other things. Have the thruster mechanics changed or are stacked "Slices" still the way to go?

I think we need a new sticky to answer some of these questions, but to answer your, no, slices are no longer as affective as they once we're.

 

Aka - thrust is no longer solely dependant upon surface area. It now takes volume I to consideration.

I'm new myself, and was testing this. While it implies stacking isn't rewarded as much, I did a test that indicated many thin slices are still better than one block of the same volume.

Are you including the volume of the space between the slices in those calculations? Because the game won't count those in the volume counter if your relying on that.
