Bigger monopropellant RCS


Recommended Posts

Currently, the monopropellant rcs has extremely limited use cases, the only times where its useful is when youre docking.

Heres the issue. If the craft is small enough to be controlled by the monoprop RCS blocks, the craft doesnt need rcs since it can be controlled with inbuilt reaction wheels.

If the craft is large enough to need dedicated RCS, the monoprop RCS blocks are to weak and you have to use veerner oxydiser RCS.

Would be nice to see much more powerful monoprop RCS blocks so we could actually use all the monoprop tanks that are currently just collecting dust in everyones VAB

Something like an RCS variant of the puff, or even larger thrusters for big craft.

Even if you use SAS and reaction wheels for all your attitude-control needs, you still need RCS to manage your alignment with the target vehicle's docking port and the control the closure rates. Works fine in that regard, just like it always has in KSP1.
