SO: Has anyone actually SEEN the Thrust Tunnel..looking Clear Through the hull to the other side..?? Just wondering. NB
Look at the hull design, that is the furthest point forward that you could logically put a thruster. Also, bow thrusters have been around for a very long time, they are not a recent invention, not to mention they can also be retrofitted.
