[WIP] Engine Igniter

[nadseh]

I've decided to branch the engine igniter part of "Vaguely Realistic" out in to a separate mod, so here it is!

This mod will limit the number of ignitions available on liquid fuel engines to align with what KSP's real-life counterpart engines would be capable of.

At the moment, engines are balanced around the following:

• Radial engines
  • Unlimited ignitions
• Nuclear engines
  • Unlimited ignitions
• Service module engines, e.g. Poodle, Terrier
  • 50 ignitions
• Upper stage engines, e.g. Skipper, Rhino, Vector
  • 3 ignitions (air start to apogee, circularisation, injection burn)
• Everything else, especially first stage engines e.g. MainSail
  • 1 ignition

The following engines are currently supported:

• Stock/Squad
• Ven's Stock Revamp

Feedback around ignition counts would be really useful. Also, if you would like to create engine configs for other mods (e.g. KW Rocketry) then please fork my repo and create a PR.

More details and downloads available in GitHub.

Thank you so much for this mod! I really wanted limited ignitions but the old mod was not working. Keep it on

I've just pushed out a new build, 0.2. It's available on GitHub and soon should be on CKAN too. This new build adds info to right-click menus (telling you how many ignitions you have remaining etc.) and also adds support for Ven's Stock Revamp, one of my favourite mods.

I'm going to give it a try, and I'll let you know. (may be a while before meaningful data)

Oh wow, I forgot I was going to try to test this. I have to admit I'm deep into other things now, but would still like to use this in KSP.

Could you please add the version of KSP the last build is made for?

As long RO / Real Fuels etc. is not done for 1.3 this would be a nice alternative.

And the MM patches are easy to be done.
