Oh, I should also mention that since power equals force times velocity, it probably wouldn’t be feasible to be able to power the thrusters after the beginning of the trip so the initial forces will have to be much higher.

Err, I mean that the thrusters will have the same power applied, but will lose thrust the faster you go, so your initial thrust has to be much higher than the lower thrust (using the same power) later in the trip (because KE = 1/2 mv² and you have to pay 4 times the energy for every doubling of velocity).
