(DX11)RCS Thruster

Description
Description: A Reaction Control System designed to careful and gentle maneuvring in docks or near other space ships to ensure safe docking or landing.
+ Ultracompact: place it ANYWHERE you want!
+ No block damage from flame
- Thrust is very weak, ~20 less than small thruster.

How to use: Place RCS thrusters onto your ship, then add all your regular thrusters into single group and place it onto your hotbar as "turn on\off". When ready to dock, disable your main thrusters and continue to move with RCS.

Known issues:
Thrusters cannot thrust after ship touch any other block. Probably related to thrusters weak force, or lack of thrust damage. Don't know how to fix. Try to wriggle a bit with gyros to move away, that very often helps.


Check my thread[forums.keenswh.com]

Current Function: Weak thruster

Planned Function: When there will be such possibility, I will add an omnidirectional version, allowing to thrust in 5 directions instead of 1.

Available on: Small ships

Adapted for Survival: Yes

Polygons: 180 \ 90 (lod0) \ 17(lod1)

i can tell you now the issue with not moving after touching another block is because of its power i have a shuttle that does the same thing when i try to move away from a station with vanilla ion thrusters but the second im not connected anymore they work fine

as par my below comment, id love something liek that for use wiht the realsitic thruster physics mods.. so these things can eb wverywhere to turn my ship while i balance the big thrusters on the centre of mass to propell and strafe?.

as for a multidorectional one... maybe just make it a retextured gyro that produces a thruster plume based off of power consumption.... and consums oxygen if you take my idea from befor?
