Reaction Control System (Hydro & Ion)

Description
The Reaction Control System for Large and Small ships allows you to keep your ship positioned in space without burning through your hydrogen supply, and also allows you to make fine tuned movements when docking.

-one smallship RCS is capable of lifting 2700kg in weight on 1g planet surface of mass in 1g planet gravity. -thanks plaYer2k

-12.5% power of normal hydrogen engines
-25 times as efficient as small hydrogen engines
-capable of moving small drones
-blue idle flame turns orange at full output
-build stages for survival

Added Ion RCS thrusters
-same blue flame for ions
-25% of normal Ion engine power
-same component requirements

Use Digi's Realistic Thrusters mod with this one to get realistic RCS thrust.

not possible to make 5 point engines, not capable in SE, well, could be possible with a script, but then think it would be a magic block

the ions are so negligible in atmos it doesn't matter

And 3) Shouldn't the Ion Thrusters not work at full percent in atmosphere?
And 4) It seems like the Hydrogen thruster model is slightly offset forward?

1) chance of adding Atmo versions?
I wanted to make a little hover bumper car,
but Ion Thrusters have Thruster Component which are a little expensive for a cheap hover car, and Hydrogen needs hydrogen which I'd be fine with but the piping would take up a lot of space

And 2) Is it possible to make a 5 pointed RCS block? Instead of having to use a convayer block and 5 of these? Or do blocks only allow one thrust direction?

yes, you may Siv

Heya, can I tinker with this and upload it for my server (unlisted) ?
nukeguard  [author] 7 Jul, 2022 @ 4:21pm 
yes, you may

May I repack this to unlisted server mod for adjustments?

I guess that video wasn't on my channel, I don't have a video, thanks for letting me know

Hi, thanks for your mods. The video for this mod is marked as private?

Also, I have a feedback on keen's support that requests the addition of a thrust-limiting slider, so that one can limit a thruster to some percentage of it's max potential, like real world thrusters (excepting solid fuel of course).

https://support.keenswh.com/spaceengineers/pc/topic/24187-for-all-thruster-blocks-the-ability-to-limit-thrust-from-0-to-max

I also have another one that requests a small, weak rcs thruster block that can apply thrust in up to 5 directions, also like rw ones. Our suits can do it, so obviously the game engine can handle the concept.

https://support.keenswh.com/spaceengineers/pc/topic/23248-space-engineers-needs-rcs-thrusters

Feedback's on keen need a threshold voting value of 50, I think, before keen will consider them, and there's no limit to how many items you can 'vote' for.
