 {
    name = ElectricCharge
    rate = 0.75
 } 
}

ModuleGimbal

Gimballing represents an engine-bells ability to move around in relation to the engine body, provided a degree of ability to steer the vessel. Higher numbers indicate a higher range, but don't set it too high. Strange things will happen. Recommend limiting range to .90 at the absolute maximum.

MODULE
{
 name = ModuleGimbal
 gimbalTransformName = thrustTransform
 gimbalRange = 0.5
}

ModuleGrappleNode

Added in [0.90], specifically for the KASA asteroid capture missions, this part functions much like a dockingNode, however, it does not require a matching docking node on the capture-side. Grapplers can attach to anything (as far as we know).

Specifies that this is a Reaction Control System part. Uses variable resources to control directionality of the spacecraft. Unlike engines, RCS parts are generally oriented perpendicular to all directions of a spacecraft in order to provide steering, rather than thrust. Typically, monopropellant is decompressively expelled from an RCS port to push the spacecraft in one direction. Note: ModuleRCS can use either a single resource, or a series of PROPELLANT calls.
