I think gyros would be a cool part to add. Maybe make them run off batteries & add solar panels

The command module itself could have a gyroscope, allowing itself to rotate without engines, but less effective the more mass is added to it. RCS thrust gizmo's could allow for vectored thrusting and rotation of greater masses.

Interestingly, as it uses a real physics engine, if you add wheels to a ship they will produce torque on the ship if you use them. Unfortunately, the direction of rotation is reversed and so it works against the action of the "autopilot", making this trick currently quite useless. Just tweak the autopilot to properly use this feature and you don't even need to add a new part :)

Ditto. This is my #1 request. You could also allow them only if you add an (optional) RCS pod. Or maybe several would be needed for a "large" ship. The more, the faster you could control/react.

This and/or maneuvering thrusters (RCS).
