In the US, or at least in my dictionary/internet dictionary, it's spelled Maneuvering.—Anubis 10545 18:52, 6 August 2008 (UTC)
- I know that we mainly use US spelling for article names (I did the odd mistake once with naming an article "centre" instead of "center", but I searched that word through The Daedalus Variations transcript on GateWorld (which basically use US spelling, unless maybe some Brit got to it first), and it is spelt with an "O", so which one should we go with? I don't mind either way because I moved this article with more-or-less through instinct. -- Matthew R Dunn 19:08, 6 August 2008 (UTC)
- Personally, I don't really care how it's spelled. However, even though it is from Gateworld, it sill is a non-US spelling and US spellings are generally used here.—Anubis 10545 19:23, 6 August 2008 (UTC)
I know ships have reverse thrust to help them slow down, but have they ever been seen used to go backwards?—Anubis 10545 05:08, 28 August 2008 (UTC)
Where are the maneuvering thrusters? The sublight engines are only the 2 large rockets on the rear of a 304 and I thought the maneuvering thrusters were the smaller rocket engines on each side of that. If that's the case, what are the even smaller box-shaped and circular objects on the rear of the Apollo in this image?

- I think those are the maneuvering thrusters and all the yellow engines are the sublight engines!—Tau'ri 21300 05:19, 5 May 2009 (UTC)
- Yea, except... then in The Daedalus Variations, when Mckay couldn't get the Sublights working, the smaller "yellow" engines behind he 302 bays were active... so...—Anubis 10545 05:28, 5 May 2009 (UTC)
Then I don't know what those white things are then...—Tau'ri 21300 05:38, 5 May 2009 (UTC)
Actually[]
The big thrusters are the inter galatic and the smaller ones on the sides are the sub-light engines, and the small white ones are maneuvering thrusters.
They said in the Episode The Deadalus Variations that they didnt had sub-light and they where active when the bick ones got active so that cant be.I think it are windows to look if there is damage to the engines.I dont think those little things can get the ship moving.
- Maneuvering thrusters when used in space-craft today work by using compressed gases (Co2 normaly), which is shot out in small bursts to change the postion of an object with great agilty if postioned propley (such as docking). The gases may also contain magnetic particles which when a magnetic charge is applied may increase the speed and or efficancy of the thruster burst. Awar 22:35, March 11, 2010 (UTC)
- @The first poster/the dum guy -- The big thrusters are the sub-light engines, as seen in many episodes. The smaller ones are propably the maneuvering thrusters. Plz get your facts right before you make these comments. Jauh0 (talk) (Contribs) 15:23, November 29, 2010 (UTC)
