RCS Thrusters
With the new 25cm unified grid it would be great to get some new thrusters to support smaller builds, and some rcs thrusters would be a great place to start. Below is an example from KSP.
They could make building tiny radio satellites possible, and also be used for docking thrusters. Maybe rather than burning a fuel they could just use jets of high pressure gas, either your stored oxygen or hydrogen, and not damage blocks around them. Keeping like the real things, they should only be low power, and not a substitute for the other types of thrusters.
It would make it possible to build ships with only primary thrusters on one end. Gyroscopes would control the attitude during flight, and the rcs thrusters would be used for docking in space.
Depending on the complexity involved they could also be used as an alternative to gyroscopes for orientation if a ship has enough. Possibly more responsive and lighter than a gyroscope, with lower power draw, in exchange for crazy amounts of oxygen/hydrogen use.
I like this feedback
Maybe if you made these suitable as landing thrusters you could also bump up the damage from hydrogen thrusters to the point where large thrusters could become a close range weapon.
