Cobra Thrusters - Default 4E vs. 4A

Do 4A thrusters in a Cobra allow you to turn quicker?

I was wonder what the benefit would be in upgrading?

Except for hull plating the thrusters are the last thing left that I have not upgraded to the best that you can mount on a Cobra.

A4 thrusters not only allow you to perform manoeuvers faster but increase your maximum and boost velocities as well.

It is insane to fly with any E-grade gear. D-grade is fairly cheap, better and - crucially - lighter, which increases your jump range and reduces your fuel costs. If you can step up to C-grade then you'll really notice a difference in handling. Skip B-grade as it's so heavy, wait until you can afford A-grade for your next upgrade (A, C and E-grade gear are all the same weight, D is lighter, B heavier).

Also, in case anyone has missed this, the better grades of power units also improve heat dissipation; I always buy the smallest class A-grade power unit that will cover my power requirements, i.e., it is often better to go for a power unit one class smaller than you have room for and get a better grade.

There needs to be more in-game help on upgrading.
