Assign engines as reaction control systems (RCS)

[dazhat]

Sometimes RCS just isn't enough.

I think it would be great if we could assign rocket engines to respond in the same was as rcs thrusters to allow us to control our rockets with a little extra power.

There's always action groups

[Zeroignite]

Six-axis action groups is rather a lot to setup. Engines as RCS... very overkill, very Kerbal, probably useful for moving those heaver asteroids around.

[Stargate525]

Ion engines or ants, for large stations.

+1, would use.

[bigyihsuan]

Whackjob would like this. I saw one of his pictures with Aerospikes as RCS.

Six-axis action groups is rather a lot to setup.

Not really. Just hard to use. Because you can make it so it toggles that engine cluster or something, and then you throttle control it.

[NoMrBond]

Add an 'RCS' group into the action groups page (along with staging, lights, brakes, 1-10 etc)

Than have engines added to this group be activated/deactivated/fired by the RCS schema

----------

Until such time however, I've been making some 'Grande' RCS thrusters for dealing with the expanded mass paradigm of the SLS parts because the 1 power stock ones just don't cut it

this is why i want analog action groups. make it so any of the 6 normal axes (plus additional ones you can map to your controls) to various actions. you could map axes to tweakables for example, or treat engines like rcs thrusters.
