I sent you a test IM that seemed to go through fine on my end.
Got it, but screen just goes white when I respond. Seems to be on the send end.
Why doesnt the Death Star have visible thrusters like every other ship in the universe.....how does it travel at sub light speed without them. Ugh

It has a bazillion but they are so small relative to its size you don't see them.

I would imagine that in space, you wouldn't even need too many thrusters, given 0G and 0atmosphere. I suppose when it gets near another planet gravity might start to have an impact.

Vader can probably just move it along with the force.
Yes. He learned to go right, go left as a young podracer boy. Spinning's a good trick.
But...but how did it travel to Jedha without a "push"

I'm not saying it didn't have any thrusters, just that theoretically it wouldn't need very many. I'm sure there are thrusters, they are just dwarfed by the size of the Death Star.
We never see them go into hyperspace do we? Couldn't it just reveal the thrusters before it takes off?

All ships in Star Wars defy the laws of physics, why should the Death Star be any different. X-Wings, TIE Fighters, the Falcon, etc., all do crazy barrel rolls in zero g that would require thrusters an all sides of the ships. Or you can just assume that they're small, hidden, and rarely seen like when the landing thrusters of the Falcon flared up as it touched down on Cloud City.
it wasn't a "real" question......just a hmmmmmmmm how'd that happen beyond suspended reality
It was hard to tell from your post, that's why I gave both answers; the "who cares" answer and the "apologist" answer. 
Yeah, some ships have them super visible and some just don't have them at all, though in the PT, didn't some ships have some special hyperspace attachment?
Have TIE Fighters ever been shown going into light speed? They call them short range fighters in ANH.

TIE's don't have any visible thrusters.
The beauty of the interwebs...... movies offer a few hours of fun to escape the real world and dive into make believe no seriousness required..... unless I venture into BvS thread ...it was so deep that it requires an intellectual discussion. 
The little thingy in the back of the round thingy.....may not light up,but it's there
No TIE Fighters are ever seen entering hyperspace and it's assumed by Luke's dialogue in ANH that they aren't capable. Various EU sources (like the X-Wing/TIE Fighter PC games) said that TIE's had no shields or hyperdrives.
Supposedly the "Special Forces" TIE's used by the First Order finally have both, however (which Finn's dialogue does seem to back up when he urges Poe to "get out of this system" after they flee Kylo's Star Destroyer.
