Please allow me to burst throttle

[Tiskahar]

In KSP 1, I can hold ctrl and tap shift to get super small bursts of thrust. When I need to apply 0.2 m/s of Dv, it's very effective to set my engine to 10%, then hold ctrl and tap shift a couple times to get exactly the amount of Dv that I want.
In KSP 2, if I hold ctrl and tap shift.. nothing happens because the ctrl is overriding the shift.

Can we please put this on the board?

In my opinion (I know everyone plays KSP differently with varying degree of “realism”) you should use RCS for maneuvers like that.

Yeah it’s going to be a design choice for KSP2: keep the infinitely throttlable main engines that let’s you impart 0.1dV, or “force” you to add secondary engines or RCS thrusters for a more “realistic” design experience.

 

That said, realism would include a way to have timed cutoff with a degree of precision that’s better than an average person’s ability to eyeball when to cut off their orbital insertion burn…at least to the same accuracy real rockets do.

 

I personally would be fine if they made main engines less infinitely throttlable. Things would be harder but more realistic, and having easily set-up action keys to shut down main engines and power up secondary would be a must.
