MA Maneuvering Aerospike Thruster

This thruster is not like the others, it will help you steer the ship! The further off-center you place it, the more torque it can exert onto the ship. I suggest placing these near the outside corners on all 6 sides.
This lets you remove most gyros, but you need to keep 1 for holding position as the thrusters only respond to player command.

It is a 1x1x1 sized hydrogen thruster, available on large grid and small grid.
On comparison to the normal hydrogen thruster;
-less thrust output. (500kN vs 900kN)
+higher efficiency. 150%
-more mass
+armored. It should be on par with heavy armor block in durability and mass.

These design choices should help it fit into it’s role of being mounted on the exposed corners and sides of the ship, and reduced fuel use for the purpose of control. Hopefully the increased mass will be more than offset by the reduced need for gyros.

It is using knsgf’s script for control, same script as his reaction control mod:

This is a simplified, lightweight and more performance-friendly version of
Thruster Physics & Differential Throttling mod.

Notes -- READ THESE FIRST
Do not use this mod alongside with Digi's Realistic Thrusters; otherwise you'll end up applying the same thruster torque twice,
Do not use this mod alongside with Thruster Physics & Differential Throttling either; these mods, despite sharing codebase, are incompatible,
Only minimal testing on LAN has been done, thus no guarantees that this mod will work correctly in real multiplayer.

Differences between this mod and TP & DT
There is no differential throttling, no thrust calibration and no active control; instead this mod cheats by magically discarding engine torque if there are enough gyroscopes onboard. If the ship has insufficient gyros to cancel combined torque from thrusters, it will spin,
Having gyroscopes on a ship is mandatory, like in vanilla,
There are no special thruster modes, simply because they are not needed.

On the other hand, this mod offers several gameplay advantages over the other one:
it is fully compatible with stock RC autopilot,
no control lag.

As always, don't forget to upvote! Thank you.
-update 02.08.19 Fixed error in LOD pathnames which caused LOD not to load, and cause other render bugs to potentially happen. Keen has identified those bugs and will be fixed in next SE update! Should be much more stable now.

-update 12.02.18
- steers and provides directional thrust at the same time. It's still somewhat simplified but flies much smoother.

-update 12.01.18
- code update, relative inertia dampening support.
- Removed [NO RCS] tag notes because that feature was removed.
- Adjusted location of grids components to be on top of the list.
