There's already an article on RCS thruster, which do we use? This one does have a slight reference to Trek technology. Also, basically, Newton's Third Law applies to any propulsion system. Enzo Aquarius 10:18, 19 Mar 2005 (EST)
- If the RCS thruster is generally the only type of thruster mentioned on Trek, thruster could concievably redirect to it -- like in ST6 when they say "thrusters", we know that they mean RCS thrusters.

- Reaction control thrusters and maneuvering thrusters are intended to be the same thing, according to production staff, most of the general references to "thrusters" also fall into this category. So instead of having 3 articles on one topic, we should create 1 article, noting the three names, and do as this article does, and link the other thruster types in the "related links" section. --Alan 02:49, 14 March 2008 (UTC)
