my 2 cents:

c) put thruster pushes and MD burns under the same limit; i.e. a ship
with 6 thrust could thrust MD 4 and push 2 to starboard.

I'll also suggest that the thruster pushes be limited, perhaps pushes
count double against the thrust limit.

This should eliminate the problem nicely, and leave thruster pushes in
the game
