(V.20) (KSP 0.23.5): The Nuclear Lord Incorporated Mod

[Lord DC]

The Nuclear Lord Incorporated Mod

V.05 For KSP 0.23.5

What does it do?

This mod aims to create an endgame technology revolving around making it more fun to play.

In short, it adds a few nuclear tech related engines which are powerful, expensive, and tough.

At the moment, it has no plugins or custom models, or textures for that matter, though that is why i'm seeking help!

What does it add?

This mod adds a new node in the career mode tree, named Nuclear Lord Inc's Tech. It is a powerful endgame tech, requiring a huge investment of science and missions (and also money).

This unlocks the NL - DC - 300 Nuclear Engine, the most efficient engine ever seen. It also adds the 2.5 Meter size, which is claimed as being more powerful than that puny RMax Mainsail.

It also adds two renditions of the Ion engine: a fusion engine which produces helium (realistic) as a byproduct, good for use with another engine, and a fission one (uses laser) that produces Helium as a result...

Resources? it adds U-235, or Uranium, which is fully compatible with and won't break Interstellar. It is a PROPER fuel for the NL - DC engines. Don't go trying Liquid fuel and Oxygen, it won't work.

For the Fission/Fusion Engines, there's Helium and Hydrogen, respectively.

How do I get the Tech for these engines?

You get the tech by FIRSTLY researching Nuclear Propulsion. Then you see the new node appear a few inches away. You can stare at the price all you want and drool at the technology.

The node costs a whopping... wait for it... 20,000 Science points!!!:cool:

(sorry about Jeb expression spamming)

It is probably the most expensive science research ever, only slightly off from being more than all of Interstellar's Science Nodes, combined.

Update

[Nhawks17]

You should post some pictures

[Lord DC]

Yeah, i know, that will be soon

[Lord DC]

Screenshots will come soon. like when i have time

Rmember: Suggestions can help get YOUR idea into this mod!

[Queril]

no pics, no clicks.

It's really surprising how many mod makers dont realize that nearly nobody cares about what you made unless there's pics of it.

[Lord DC]

Yeah, i know this, but this is literally my first mod }+ i'm new here

[Kerbonautical]

Looking forward to pics but just curious why the node costs so much? It sounds like this would work nicely alongside Interstellar but at double the cost of an alcubierre drive what advantage do they offer?

[Lord DC]

They offer the advantage of being powerful, efficient, and relatively light. In other words, if the node wasn't so costly, you would think of it as overpowered/cheaty

[Lord DC]

A new screenie has been uploaded. More to come soon!

[Lord DC]

Dev Note time!

These happen every Friday and concern the mod, and other mods that i make.

Right now I'm working on a seperate mod which will either be called DC's Planet Pack, or Gas Giants Galore. it currently has a gas giant and a second Sun, which will have lots more gas giants.

As for this mod, i am working on full Lazor Weapons support, you early downloaders may have seen a folder named "Science" inside the parts folder which contained two nuke warheads.

It will soon have more than that !

[Lord DC]

A new update will be coming tommorow along with some new screenies... for anyone whos interested

[Lord DC]

Updated! added new stuff!
