'Magical' Torque?

[Power and Wealth]

I am not sure if this 'Working As Intended' but I was just able to make my entire ship (95 tons) do a roll around its own axel without the aid of RCS. Please explain to me, how this is possible? 95 tons? And by roll around its own axel, I am refering to it being in a stationary orbit at 125km, nose first. Horizontcaly.

Having a bit of trouble visualising this:

So you're out of atmo, with the ship lateral? How long is it and where is/are the probe controller/cabins? These have reaction wheels in them and so can generate torque. If they're far from the CoM they can exert a lot.

[Power and Wealth]

Well, it is stationary with the the ship's nose point at the horizontal line. Then I press D and Lo-and-behold the whole craft starts moving along the horizontal line. I have not engaged RCS, the engine power has been cut and I am far beond the atmosphere. What I am refering to is the reaction wheels being able to shift around 95 tons of spacecraft without any kind of way to express this force or movement.

I recall in 0.20 smaller craft could shift around without needing RCS but larger craft was unable to do this. Why was this deemed needed?

[Nef]

Yes, but where are the reaction wheels in relation to the CoM? And What size unit?

Near the centre I admit it's strange, but out at the ends it's technically possible.

The Kerbals have hamster wheels along the walls?

[Power and Wealth]

I am using ASAS.L And it is located in the nose craft and another one located in the middle onto of the CoM. What I am trying to refer to, is that this craft is able to move without any means and since torque by itself cannot move an object without it being able to exert this force how is it able to move the craft?

I realize now that it is entirely plausble but I still find it hard to belive that such mass can be moved by wheels and cogs...

[Nef]

Yeah, I'm finding the L is a little OP, but if it's in the nose it can probably shift it, fuel distro once you've burned to orbit will affect CoM too, though I'd expect that to shift it towards the nose depending on how you've staged.

[Power and Wealth]

Ah yes, I almoste forgot. Torque can not move verticaly or horizonticaly. It can only turn a craft around its own central axel.

[Mandelbrot]

I noticed rolling (q,e) is extremely easy, it seems a little off.

[Mandelbrot]

Big rockets being turned by tiny little probe bodies still seems glacially slow, though.

ASAS has become more powerful in the last update it seems, at the cost of electricity.

the faster you go the bader, so dont go 5 times faster
