RCS Inefficiency

[MalfunctionM1Ke]

I found EchoLogic's Album on Reddit (Regex, I know that it is utter **** ) and I wondered why I havent tried this yet.

Scott Manley said several times in his Vids that RCS was inefficient but I didnt know that it was that bad:

That is impresive by whoever made that.

You should see the earlier versions of KSP. The RCS back then was over-efficient to the point where it was completely broken. You could fly a probe core to Eve back then on just RCS fuel .

[Grover]

their isp ASL is only 100s, which is why it took a bonkers amount of fuel and thrusters for just the first 200m

That is absolutely insane. Well done, good sir!

All credit for this goes to EchoLogic

Someone has a lot of spare time!

Applause. This must have demanded a lot of patience. The real reason why RCS rockets are (nearly) impossible isn't the low ISP though...it's the engine weight. BRB, off to do something similar with RLA monoprop engines!

Patience and a tolerance for low frame rates

Seriously impressed, I didn't think this was possible.

Was that directed at me? I only have a problem with Reddit when I'm the one who has to go digging through it.

Anyway, that album is seriously awesome; that ship probably would have melted my laptop!

as inefficient as they may be, this rocket gets 20000 points for badassness, just imagine a night launch, it's like a flying christmas tree

Was whackjob in any way involved in the creation of that beast

[Iridium616]

Nah, if whackjob made something like that, he could be on moho alredy.
