To be more serious, the possibility to integrate small pieces like RCS into a fuel tank would be really cool to me.
For example, see that launcher:
I've put RCS on my main stage, as I want it to be maneuverable, but because of the boosters, they can't be covered with fairings. The problem is limited in this case (I'll "just" suffer from drag), but in some situations, this can seriously complicate your design, especially when you design a massive rocket, and each pixel counts, as the grid size is limited. So it would be cool to be able to integrate them into the fuel tank like this:
This would also allow to better mimic the real launchers, that don't have so prominent attitude control system.
This could also be done with landing legs, which would allow to reproduce the Falcon 9 (its landing legs are not apparent!) with more realism, or to design a Saturn 5 without having the LEM legs messing with the slick design of the rocket.
It could be made at the cost of a fuel penalty (as this takes place from the fuel tank) or something like that to compensate, so that it's not a no-brain choice.

Thanks Aiden. To be frank I don't think I misunderstood his point of view (even if that happens of course), we just don't see the problem and its solution in the same way.
@noire: If your reaction is because I didn't approve your probe idea, I didn't want to upset you. Remember I've also liked the reaction wheel idea after all (how could this be trolling?). As I said, I respect your idea, I'll never antagonize someone that proposes something to make the game better. Please, just allow me to have a different point of view, we are just here to discuss peacefully after all. Of course, you're also allowed to disagree with my ideas, as long as it's done respectfully.

Indeed
The funniest is that I didn't understand Strychnine's post at first because google translator didn't know "punny". I finally understood thanks to your message

Man, I didn't want to upset you in any manner! I DID read your post before replying, weren't we talking about the same thing? Even if I misread something or if I worded something in an inappropriate manner, that does not justify such a reaction, this could be solved in a more peaceful manner!
And for the third and last time, I accept that somebody disagrees or criticizes me, as long as it's done with a minimum of respect. I appreciated discussing with you until now, but if you continue that way, I'll just ignore you in the future. The choice is yours.

There's nothing wrong with pointing out errors. I just, personally, try not to do it. Mainly because I know a lot of people, at least here, are not native English speakers and rely on a translator. But also because I do a lot of writing and try to avoid critiquing others, unless they specifically ask for it.
