No Mark and qoror. You are both wrong. "Attitude," as used in describing ship funtions, 
means which way the ship is leaning. EX: Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country. 
When the KBOP that could fire when cloaked fired upon Chancellor Gorkon's ship, 
Qonos' 1, it caused the ship to list and spin almost out of control. THIS is "attitude." 
I.E.: The "attitude control thrusters" were subsequently disabled. I hope this explains 
what "attitude control trusters" means
