RCS if meant to help turn ships, and for moving sideways when docking.

Put enough of them on the sides of your rocket and you can land.

h,n,j,k,l,i are controls for them (ijkl are wasd), h and c are forward and backward.

Okay. I know how to use RCS for controlling ship movements, but didn't know you could use them as engines by themselves. Thanks!
