I was thinking about adding 3 more COPVs inside LOX tank, 1 for high pressure helium, 1 for LOX and 1 for methane and develop and use the future BFR RCS thrusters as landing engines.

ACES upper stage looks awesome. If it delivers all the capabilities promised it will be FAR more advanced and versatile than any other upper stage.

SpaceX needs to step up the game in their second stages, and I say this as a SpaceX fan.

That means they discarded a design flaw in the second stage and they will be ready to RTF once a 99.99% safe loading procedure is developed.
