This pack contains advanced electric engines for deep space travel. Generally engines split into the following categories:
Gridded Ion Engines: like the stock Dawn, they have low TWR and great Isp. They run on Xenon fuel.
Hall Effect Thrusters: similar to Gridded thrusters, but with better TWR at the cost of some Isp. They run on Argon fuel an
So in every test that I have done, in isolation the reactors perform exactly as they should. Ignoring the debug values and going by adding up core transfer numbers, any combinations of reactors work just fine.
I have to conclude that (again) there's a critical bug in stock to work around. Here's some testing of my own.
This base has enough radiators deployed to run the reactor at full power (800 kW) plus 4 drills at regular power or 2 drills at max power (200kW)
1) The reactor is
