Surface-Attached AES RCS

[Geschosskopf]

The 4-jet RCS thruster part in AES, while extremely cool, suffers severely from being an inline stack part. Because this precludes sliding the part along the body of the ship, balancing RCS thrust on ships using this part is extremely difficult and time consuming, involving stacking and restacking the whole body of the ship many times, adding and subtracting parts and trying all their permutations. This is so much work that it means the part will probably see much less use than it deserves, and RoverDude says the alternative of writing a module to allow tweakable RCS thrust is also more trouble than it's worth.

Therefore, I suggest making a surface-attached, 1-arm version of this part. Just 1 of the arms with the 6-way thruster on the end. That way, you could attach multiple copies with symmetry and slide them fore and aft to achieve RCS balance, just as you do with the stock 4-way RCS block, EDIT: but improved with beer and hookiers :)
