Building Engines


Recommended Posts

Hi, what do you think of in the game you could build engines with ready-made parts such as nozzles, combustion chambers, tubes, turbines etc. There would be two new buildings in KSP where you could build and test engines. The system could also include the ability to create non-standard parts using sliders, such as width, shape, height and pressure in the combustion chamber, reducer to oxidizer ratio, etc. We could then build our own engines that would be stored in game files. The engine would be saved as a model file and a parameter file. The system would also contain restrictions that would make it impossible to build completely unreal engines, for example if something is too much or too little the engine will not start or explode. We could test the motors in a special building where the engines could run and check their performance.

I'm aware that it's hard to do but definitely possible.
I'm sorry for language errors, but I'm using Google Translate

Children of a Dead Earth. It is a realistic space combat game where you can make your own engines.

 

looks interesting.

In KSP I would like to see engines that can be upgraded on a part by part basis, which would exploit the same code and allow upgrading as well as making engines from scratch.

I like this idea.

Holy nuckets, this would indeed be awesome. Kinda Like SSTU fueltanks parts, but than with engines. The idea of Children of a Dead Earth can be very usefull for a mod. 
I can make models/animations for the mod, but the coding behind is something I can't do.
