Auto-Steering System:

So, these thrusters could be used for turning. And, they are annoying at times. So, this block will moderate the amount of thrust made per thruster, so that it behaves like vannilla. But, at the cost of this block consuming energy, and a good amount of the thrusters being used less to prevent torque. But, as soon as you turn, things get neat. It also uses manipulation of the different thrusters to turn!

But, the block uses a lot of energy, and the energy is something like x+yz;
where:
  • x= a large number (The base cost of a super computer capable of doing all that math
  • y=number of thrusters
  • z= thruster increase (The amount of energy each thruster adds to the base upkeep of the computer.

There's already more complicated mods out there that do steering with thrust and all that.

Also cramming all suggestions into a single topic isn't great, whoever wants to suggest something should make a separate topic per idea :P
But it'll be best for these ideas to go in a place where multiple modders can see them... like in #modding-programming on keen's discord, there's a pinned link to google docs that have ideas for people to grab.

okay

but, I think this mod should have that in it, but, who knows!

could you please link a few? I'd be really interested in being able to turn my ship using actual thrusters rather than simply relying on a gyroscope.

And I think there was at least one more but I can't find it anymore xD
