Bug regarding “engine”-Feature

User:Jwilman mentioned that it is a bug, that the TR-XL Stack Separator provides “thrust”. Now I'm not sure why this is a bug/physically wrong. It is like an explosive which propels in both directions (while Decouplers only in one direction). In space nothing should happen, but on ground it ejects from the ground and additionally ejects everything on the other side (so the other side would get twice as much acceleration). Now it is independent if there are other separators on the “payload” side. And it should work even in midair (as this is like “in space”). Depending on how much weight it propels (the ignited separator get pushed down while the payload gets pushed up by a fraction of it, isn't this Newtons 3rd law). — xZise [talk] 13:53, 27 May 2013 (CDT)
