The current Block D RCS modules are useful, but have an unrealistic nozzle arrangement:

Most notably, they are missing the ability to perform an ullage burn (critical for RO players). The real arrangement is also more visually interesting.

I'm sorry but the link is broken - do you have a picture?

That site going down took out a lot of great material. Still, I did manage to pull it out:

You can see that not only are the nozzles redundant (two in each direction), they have an unusual arrangement that gives the system additional redundancy. It might be good idea to split the RCS into two groups so that they don't all fire when yawing/pitching the stage.
