High Power Surface mounted RCS #46

Open Mister9000 opened 9 years ago

Mister9000 commented 9 years ago

Docking 1500+ ton K+ tankers is tricky with stock RCS, I'd love a High power (10-25 thrust?) RCS thrusters that I can surface mount like the vanilla ones. Open to using LH2, or K+ as fuel for added efficiency since those are the only super heavy transports I can think that would need docked to a station/asteroid base

Yes please: LH2, Karbonite and Karborundum RCS!

The most commonly uses propellants (ordered from highest to lowest thrust) are: Nitrogen, Hydrogen, Hydrazine, and Water.

Karbonite is everywhere, so it can be used. Karborundum is hard to get (very low orbit around Sun, and minable on Eve and Eeloo.

@Olympic1: For all the commonly propellants you can use the "Real Fuels" mod.

Karbonite is everywhere so to use it for RCS is obvious. Karborundum is efficiency king so I like to use it on long range crafts and don't need an extra tank for mono propellant.
