Now you can change thrust settings and it immediately applies, great for testing purposes but it should only apply after rebooting your ship.
After changing it, it should also give you a red warning message inside the thrust menu that points out that you need to reboot in order to get the new changes.
A button to revert any new changes you've made without rebooting would be nice too (but not needed to close this task).

The reason it should only be applied after reboot is to stop Super-Capitals going from sluggish brawler, to lightning turn speed at a few clicks.
A ship should enter battle with those weaknesses, not spontaneously be able to change while under fire to benefit them. Macros will break combat in favour of those able to program the hotkeys to adjust thrust at a push of the button on the fly.
A Reboot-system will mean that in PvP events you can adjust thrust before the match.
Potentially instead of a reboot, confirming thruster changes will cause a vessel to have a few seconds (even 1 second will do, maybe) of "Thrust Outage", Unless, unlimited changing was to be the case to benefit "Experienced" pilots
Otherwise I agree, being able to instantly change thrust will vastly benefit those who are able to do so quickly, or via hotkey macros, if there was no temporary penalty for doing so
Not sure which side of this I fall on, to be honest. Really, the only problem with this is turn speed (Particularly on larger ships), which makes me wonder if only locking in turn speed should require a reboot. Also, if changing thrust settings does require a reboot, then docking should probably also allow free modification after a short "engine cooling down" timer.
I agree with Ithirahad, I am on the fence as well, but I can see where this can be in both RP aspects and applying instantly such as in the case of Elite's "Pip" system and where it can be abused to gain a further advantage over a rival player by sudden, massive thrust vectoring and rotation changes. It will likely require a lot of user-testing, and perhaps a few PvP Events / Fleet Operations to determine what is best
