Separating Thrusters from Main Engines

What if you need a fast ship, but don't care about maneuverability? Right now you get an all or nothing package, but what if the thrusters and the main engines were separate modules?

The perk of having them separated would be power and weight management, to have a better performance to weight ratio based on need. If you need a fast runner with maximum jump range, but can't sacrifice on the optional modules, then you would have at least the option to pick A rated main engines and D rated thrusters for a slightly better optimization.

Well they’re technically separate physical units, so there’s no reason why commanders shouldn’t be able to customise them separately.

This would further help to differentiate ship layouts, which tend to get a bit samey for certain build types.
