Indeed,
oh wait lemme install Freelancer again, ok done!

open /EQUIPMENT/st_equip.ini and look at the first entry, something like:

[Thruster
nickname = n00b_thruster ;nickname
ids_name = 524304 ;read from ingame
ids_info = 524304 ;see above
DA_archetype = equipment\models\st\ku_thruster.3db ; leave
material_library = equipment\models\ku_equip.mat ; leave
HP_child = HpConnect ; leave
hit_pts = 750 ; how much damage til it blows off the ship
explosion_resistance = 0.500000 ; yeah
debris_type = debris_normal ; see above
parent_impulse = 20
child_impulse = 80
volume = 0.000000
mass = 10
max_force = 60000 ;this is speed it goes, increase = faster
particles = gf_ge_s_thruster_01 ;blabla
hp_particles = hpthrust
power_usage = 100 ; make 0 for no power usage
lootable = true
separation_explosion = sever_debris
LODranges = 0, 20

just copy that and edit it, then you need to go into lalala;;; st_good.ini
again find:
[Good
nickname = n00b_thruster
equipment = n00b_thruster
category = equipment
price = 3000
item_icon = equipment\models\commodities\nn_icons\EQUIPICON_thruster.3db
combinable = false
ids_name = 524304
ids_info = 524304
shop_archetype = equipment\models\st\ku_thruster.3db
material_library = equipment\models\ku_equip.mat

agange price to its price and nickname and equipment stay the same, then if you want it sold on a base you need to open market_misc.ini and add the line:
MarketGood = n00b_thruster, 1, -1, 10, 10, 0, 1

change marketgood to say the nick of your thruster

also did they not put search back?? :p

Thanks for the help.

Yes they still have a search some what. Spent 3 hours looking to no avail.

Experience is the worst teacher!
It gives the test before the lesson.

Also something to thrusters.
Is it possible to add engine effects instead of the standard thruster effect?

i had the cloak effect on my engine but it diddnt loop
