Much of the issue with auto-staging in both MJ1 and MJ2 is because the module does not allow any delay in staging after the current stage engines shut down. This is only exasperated by the MJ1 and sometimes MJ2 issue with zero decoupler force, but it is also a useful tool for launches when a slight delay before staging activates can be useful. Whether it be forced or selectable, there should be at least a 0.1-0.5 second delay prior to staging to allow the now expended stage to "settle" so that there is no odd stresses on the decoupler that can cause collisions with adjacent stages as occurs with the current auto staging behavior.

OK, will add a pre-delay.

Thanks for adding that. Makes things much more fun. With that an G-Limiting the throttle, will make getting proper launch paths so much easier since we can now time delays properly between stages and conserve fuel better in the late stages of ascent like the real ones do.
