Shuttle Main Engine

[Qenadil]

Similar to the LV-T30 but has gimbals in one direction that is great enough to counteract the offset thrust of a shuttle type design with a fuel tank or SRB that moves the center of mass to one side. This would help with the creation of shuttle crafts in addition to being able to launch payloads with an offset center of mass.

Another option that would require an update to the user interface would be an engine with a manually controlled change in angle. This would however become obsolete with robotics that would allow the user to mount an engine on a pivot.

I believe you can manually edit the gimbal range in the part's file yourself if you want.

Sorry for bringing up an older thread but I was looking to post the same thing.

I believe the reason for the low gimbal range for the current engines that have thrust vectoring was because SAS was only able to handle engines with a gimbal range of up to a few degrees before it would spaz out. However, new SAS tweaks in 0.22 allow for a much greater gimbal range with SAS enabled, so this should definitely be doable. I would love to see some stock engines with 10 or 15 +/- deg gimbal range in a future update.
