We need a separate gyroscope part for our crafts.I know we have them inbuilt in command module, but we need a separate module for making crafts with command chips much controllable without rcs or other rocket motors.

Suggestion Done Fixed in 0.7.1.4

    @AnotherFireFox I think you have a typo in @AndrewGarrison, but he marked it fixed in 0.7.1.3 anyway.

    Shouldn't you mark it "completed" @AdnrewGarrison

    So long as it's not so powerful as to completely replace RCS. Things like slow, but precise adjustment for large craft seem fine, but additional reaction wheels or control-moment gyroscopes making the reaction-control system useless for actually controlling anything seems a bit counterproductive.
    Mostly for the sake of realism, but also because personally I like the design challenge of building RCS-friendly craft - even though in its current stage the game isn't exactly RCS-friendly itself, but that's for another suggestion.

    I think it’s best use would be for full-electric control of a small satellite. At the moment, we need RCS to control tiny satellites so it would be handy to have reaction wheels/gyroscope that act the same as the command module. @AndrewGarrison

    I will go out on a limb and say torque wheels. I think torque wheels are more realistic depiction as they can greatly affect the orientation of a craft. From what I know, gyroscopes are those spinning bois that we topple just for it to not fall.
    .
    But yes that should be implemented nonetheless

    @AndrewGarrison I think he means like ksp so you Can put another sas module on a craft maybe because it to big maybe.

    Do you mean an additional gyroscope part that you can attach anywhere on your craft to help improve its attitude control?
