Cresseliator

Ion engines are great if you use them correctly. Otherwise, just don't use them. They have a TWR of 0.2, need lots and lots of electricity, and their fuel is very hard to get more of. But, they have lots of Delta-V and Isp and aren't that heavy (1/12th the weight of the NERV). Of course, the electricity is very hard to get after Dres, meaning they are better suited for the inner planets.

First of all, this craft is beautiful, and it looks like it would actually work (unlike most Xenon craft I build) But, I am trying to make a Xenon craft/mothership thing and hopefully my friend won't terminate this ship before it's mission has been completed. Will post when done!
