Well, I watched a KSP video from Danny, and I tried making a drop pod of my own. I came up with this thing that is started off with 4 sepatrons then can accelerate and decelerate by using the roll controls. For example, if I hit Q it speeds up at a ridiculous rate. There is a video below. (Sorry about the video quality, I just wanted to quickly record it so I pointed my phone at the screen) (I am sorry. Truly)
As you can see when I roll left it accelerates at a mind-boggling speed. Also, rolling in the opposite direction causes rapid deceleration! Here is the .craft file: https://www.dropbox.com/s/rzcjkdd01hvgx2g/DropPod.craft
