A Thruster critical hit increases the cost of changing facing for an aerospace fighter by 1mp.

Does this still increase the cost of changing facing while taxiing along the ground?
If so, and the cost to change facing exceeds the available cruise MP to the fighter, can the fighter change facing using the minimum movement rule?

Also, a somewhat related question: does a Gear critical affect taxiing in any way? It seems to only affect landing/takeoff, but being able to still cruise at full speed with no landing gear doesn't feel right.

Yes. Turning is turning.

Yes. Per Total War, page 88 using the modifiers from the LIFTOFF MODIFIERS TABLE:

Destroyed landing gear prevents taxiing altogether (merely damaged landing gear has no effect).
