In the Inspector, set them to 500 and 15000, respectively. thrust will represent the force being applied by the ship's engine: either (0, 0) when coasting, or a vector with the length of engine_power when powered on. rotation_dir will represent what direction the ship is turning in and apply a torque, or rotational force.
