With only 2 axis of rotation, a vectored nozzle is not physically capable of rotation on its own. Several engines could counter-gimbal, producing rotation, but it's far simpler and easier to use RCS or SAS to rotate. Also, using thrust vectoring would mean giving up the ability to rotate while not burning.

I just disable gimbals on my engines and keep RCS off whenever possible. The latter practice also serves to save RCS fuel.

I have been attempting to modify the Ion Engine to run only on electricity, but at a somewhat higher rate than it currently does. Attempts to modify the config file towards this end have failed miserably. If you know how to do this, please post necessary edits.
