So KSP has these things called "sepratrons" which, upon staging, fire to either
a): Propel the separated stage away from the full stage
b): Propel the full stage away from the separated stage
These motors are very small, and the smallest engine (the Pixie) when turned into a solid fuelled engine it is extremely big.
Sepratrons would be very useful for things like solid rocket motors, Atlas V recreations, and launch escape systems. It would be a great addition to SimpleRockets 2. Do you agree?

Maybe you can use the "tinker panel" to shrink the engine size down ? (I've never tried)
Also the "separatrons" could be of use if someday some engines require ullage ( avoiding sucking gas, only liquid, by giving the craft a short acceleration just before firing the "big" engine, for some cryogenic fuels )

Unrelated, but you know that the example engines are all the same rocket engine part, just with different settings to begin with.
