[1.2] My first mod (Micro Xenon Engine)

[shinevision]

Today i made my first mod that adds a second Xenon+Electric powered engine.

it gives really little thrust, but because of that you can make really accurate adjustments and it is also really efficient!

there is a video showing it on Curse (link below)

Micro Xenon engine? The one in the game is already 0.625 meters! This one must be exceptionally tiny!

Congrats on the first mod!

Nice! It's a great starting point to do big things! I would recommend adjusting the attachment of it and learning to make a custom model.

Thank you so much!

This sounds cool! You also need a license for your mod, I use the MIT license. You should put the license in a .txt file in the mod zip and in a spoiler in the main post. I also think some small radial xenon tanks would be cool!

TL;DR, other people can redistribute and re-release the mod, but must have an MIT license as well. Also it seems to redistribute the stock KSP ion engine model, that's not allowed. If it does set up a ModuleManager config to do the same thing, it's easy. I probably can help you with the MM config in IRC later if you want.

Thanks you so much!. i will do that right now.

also i think im going to replace the stock ion with a custom model! (i hope it works)

i didn't know that that wasn't allowed. thanks for informing me!
