A mod pack for Kerbal Space Program, delivering fancy electic propulsion solutions for your Kerbals.
A number of electric propulsion parts designed off real technology and prototypes.
- Gridded Ion Engines: Like the stock Dawn, they have low TWR and great Isp. They run on Xenon fuel.
- Hall Effect Thrusters: Similar to Gridded thrusters, but with better TWR at the cost of some Isp. They run on Argon fuel and are pretty cheap!
- Magnetoplasmadynamic Thrusters: With the best TWR of all electric engines, these engines are very power-hungry. They run on Lithium fuel.
- Pulsed Inductive Thrusters: Similar to Hall thrusters, they run on Argon fuel and have the unique ability to dump extra electricity into the engine, increasing Isp but generating more heat.
- VASIMR Engines: High tech and fancy, these engines run on either Xenon or Argon fuel. They can be tuned for high-thrust, low Isp operation, or low-thrust, high-Isp operation
- Electric RCS: Available in several flavours - a mini gridded thruster, mini Hall thruster, disposable PPT and set of small magnetoplasmadynamic thruster blocks
- New Tanks: More Xenon tanks and full tank sets for Argon and Lithium fuels
These components are required for the mod to function and are bundled as part of any download:
To install, place the GameData folder inside your Kerbal Space Program folder. If asked to overwrite files, please do so.
NOTE: Do NOT rename or move folders within the GameData folder - this mod uses absolute paths to assets and will break if this happens.
Some extra patches are bundled that you can use to tweak your installation. To install them, drop the correct folder from the Extras folder into your KSP GameData Folder
- XenonHallThrusters: Converts the Argon fuelled HETs into Xenon fuelled versions with no changes in stats (but changes in FX)
This mod includes compatibility patches for the following mods:
- KSP-AVC: Provides version checking
- Community Tech Tree: Provides an expanded, community-sourced technology tree for modders to use
- CryoTanks: installed, a new set of LH2-powered MPDT RCS thrusters are added
I certainly accept pull requests. Please target all such things to the dev branch though!
