It depends on your staging: I prefer to at the very most, get to Kerbin orbit with preceding stages and than while out of atmosphere, take use of the NERVs as it has best fuel efficiency so it is also lighter to actually get into space. However, the smallest usable punch for such ~50ton load (that includes the engines and fuel) seems to be about 3 of them as maneuvering around gets slightly painful with less of them. Getting any reasonable acceleration takes too much time…with 4 NERVs, accelerating to close Mun encounter with clockwise orbit takes about 2,5 minutes real-time burn. With just 2 engines that would be (considering the lower weight) something like 4,5 minutes. If I'd try to endevour for going into deep space with this, I could let it run on the background and go to do something else However that is nice idea with the decoupling of the engines. It is true that fuel crossfeed works nice for some time now (I still remember when you had to put the fuel pipes over pretty much every adapter and so, these days I have not used single piece of fuel piping for years) so that may actually work very well. I can already see use for some other adapters than just TVR-400L Stack Quad-Adapter. Actually, another suggestion for devs comes right from this: I see pretty much no coupling adapters from Extra Large (Kerbodyne), 3.75m parts to anything else (rather than the Kerbodyne ADTP-2-3 tank), are there going to be some in some of the next releases? If not, possibly you can think about that? Some bi, tripple and quad Rockomaxx adapters come to mind right away, and, obviously, also quintiple, sextuple, septuple (at least) small (1.25) sized attachment nodes. When at that, just making larger nuclear engine would also be nice, lol.

DStaal: You do, just got whacked by experimental small tank when loading some of my ancient ships, one of the Mk3 removed ones I believe (replaced by FT-400 or FT-800 LF variant).

I only use it rarely on Kerbin to collect some science, but will likely make some of that for some fun on other objects with atmosphere, si it may come in handy Don't need it right away so I'll just research it later, np.

Right you are! I got the LF unlocked (and now removed) and the RF (LFO) not yeat reasearched, it is the "Experimental Aerodynamics" node.

Could that actually be the problem? That I have the LFO Mk3 Fuselage and it has been removed, so it conflicts and makes the rocket fual variant Mk Fuselage disappear? Looky:

There is at least one existing tank in the game on my Mun space station which fortunatelly have not disappeared or bursted into flames. But I can not see any such part in the part menu in the hangar editor.

I totaly understand the duplicit parts, the short fuselage are the same so sure. What I mean are the large ones, what's the name…ah, here: Mk3 Liquid Fuel Fuselage Short, Mk3 Liquid Fuel Fuselage, Mk3 Liquid Fuel Fuselage Long. I would understand if you removed these three, but I can not find the Mk3 Rocket Fuel Fuselage either, I mean, the whole family is gone. But this Mk3 thing has different shape and thus also different volume than Rockomaxx tanks. They are not the same parts! Kinda miss those. I do not want the duplicit parts - just these Mk3 Fuselage tanks…

Thank you sir for the mod, makes many things much easier. I do however have a question…why are the Mk 3 tanks removed? They may have the same volume, but slightly different shape than Rockomaxx, so…

Since we don't really have an idea what is the idea behind the nuclear engines in KSP, I don't think so Besides, they do not differentiate hydrogen, kerosine, hydrazine or anything else, it's all just liquid fuel/oxidiser, the one and only. Although having the remote fuel tank near the launch pad suggest it may be hydrogen, but who knows. As for the engines themselves, I think that weighting 3 tons and only producing 60 kN is trade-off just enough. On the contrary, limited offer of tanks at the moment does not allow full use of them, or at least not really an elegant one. It can move 50ton vehicle just about enough in space using four of them, but the engines themselves than weight 12 tons of that. So far I am using the medium Mk3 tank and 2,5m capsule directly on top of it, but a combination of small Rockomaxx tanks plus the adapter would likely yield the same effect (due to better aerodynamic shape, not being so bulky etc.). Tonka Crash: thanks for the tip! that solves it for now…hopefully devs will implement this in at least some partial form, I think this is pretty much basic stuff you would expect so as such, it should get in the game sooner or later

Hello world I often use atomic engines in KSP but it seems the offer of liquid fuel (only) tanks is still kinda limited in KSP. Dragging totaly useless oxidizer all the way who knows where is not really a good idea when you have no use for it, on the other hand with only a couple of existing tanks ships tend to get unnecessarilly large and bulky. So what would especially help would be Mk3 to 2.5m Adapter liquid-fuel only variant. Or possibly even converting Rockomaxx tanks to liquid-fuel only variants as well, together with Kerbodyne ADTP-2-3.

Přesně u těch předpokládám, že to tak zůstane. Znaj ironii?

You opening first space gas station there?

Been experimenting with monster booster using SuperJet engines, they are way more effective than liquid fuel engines…and besides that, driving around Mun with Jebediah
