Add RCS failure modes #165

Open Starstrider42 opened 7 years ago

Starstrider42 commented 7 years ago

Currently, the only failure mode applicable to RCS thrusters is exploding. It would be nice if they had slightly less dramatic ways of failing.

In principle, RCS thrusters can have most of the failure modes experienced by main engines, including I_sp loss, thrust loss, shutdown, and (at least for bipropellant thrusters like the stock Vernor Engine) ignition failures. ~I'm not sure if cooling failures make sense.~

was also suggested a while ago to have RCS jam 'on' such as a valve seizing

I assume that a jammed thruster would still turn off if you completely shut down RCS? I imagine the failure would be unplayable otherwise.
