I think it would be really neat to have Solar sails (also called Photon sails) as another option for high efficiency propulsion.

I use a solar sail mod in KSP, it was very fun but it lack of a proper control, because solar sails do not behave like we are used to, they need a polar coordinate system and a different maneuver node proving an instant prediction of the patch until certain time, it also need an option to maintain certain angle with respect the sun in warp time.
This should be a job for a mod with the help of someone who understand the math, I saw one time in a paper a formula to provide the path function with just one result which it would require less resources.
