The thruster hack definitely still works, I use it all the time to break the rules and allows my flyer to beat the physics of the game.
The issue with this hack is very simple though, it works in 2 parts - 1 is Force ie Thruster Power, how much force is being generated, the other part is - 2 Velocity this carries the thrust forward giving it momentum, which is why when you use 18 force, you go super fast, it isn't necessarily the force magnitude doing this.
Using velocity is a dead give away that you are hacking, because nothing in the game can give you so much momentum other than an uber warp drive craft which are very difficult to handle by nature, so for that reason alone, I don't use velocity for this hack, it is not needed. Velocity by default should be set to 10 and not 18, also 18 is not the max it can go to either.
Now let's go back to the ForceMagnitude, I have a flyer bot that I use this hack on and the hack is set to 216 or in most cases 243 ForceMagnitude to give me a 20-25% boost in speed over the game mechanics, at T9 the bot is naturally too sluggish, with the hacks it enables it to move more faster.
Now I take the same bot which had white cubes and uses 216-243 force, and convert the white cubes to black cubes, the force required now to keep the same speed as when using white cubes has to double, so now the ForceMagnitude has to be set too 432 ForceMagnitude for the Speed Hack to work, as it did previously.
This is the issue with using the Thruster Speed Hack it differs to every single bot that uses thrusters, the engine size and the weight/ size of the craft. This is why the Thruster Speed hack might not work all the time, the settings are not set right for the bot you are using and this gets annoying if you have multiple bots all using thrusters of varying force, size, tier, weight etc, cause the hack is not uni-formal and that is the problem with this hack that I see.
I hope that explains it a bit better to you.
