retro rockets are not rocket belts trhey are used to adjust direction and orbit in space if I am correct which im pretty sure I am.

you should probably describe how your idea will fit in with DS, because... right now whats the point of having them if the most 3D range we get is when we play leap frog arround in the big fleets

We already have a reverse thruster system, sorta. Simply get a tractor beam or two, equip them and target yourself (through the F2 Nav screen) and shift+T. This will enable 'push' mode and voilaorsomeweridfrenchword and back you go at a staggering 2gu/s. You can probably dodge a torpedo at that.

how about you explain it like im 4yrs old, will it make me turn faster, or mabey adjust the Yaw a lil bit. Or preform break neck speed manuvers with my dread. are you saying you just want to see the effect? are you saying that you want reverse engines? Side ways movement? how about a twisting motion? retro rockets how are you planing that they should be implmented in a game were the tech is greater than this idea? im not trying to be an ass but youve gotta expand on your idea some, or i can t see its purpose in here. :/

They're being introduced in a later version, far as I know. Either way, sooner or later they WILL be introduced, they're just in the works. This topic has come up a LOT.
And to be a complete ass, I'll repeat what other people said in other posts. Ships DO have retro rockets, otherwise they wouldn't be able to stop. Blah Blah Blah.
