			=== Can Use Gimbaled Main Drives Efficiently ===
			Allows for the autopilot to properly take advantage of torches with a gimbal or vectored thrust capabilities to their potential, instead of treating them as a static thrust torch. Do note that this only affects torches, RCS thrusters with gimbal will use them regardless of the autopilot.
