LV-N "Nerv" Atomic Rocket Motor Texture Revamp

[Dr. Kerbal]

Many parts released before version 0.18 have been retextured and updated.  But did you notice that the LV-N "Nerv" Atomic Rocket Motor hasn't been retextured yet?  If you go back to previous versions its also the same. And many KSP players use it a lot. It has great efficiently and therefore good for long flights to other planets.  I think its now time for the LV-N "Nerv" Atomic Rocket Motor to get  a texture revamp.

@Dr. Kerbal If they continue the part texture revamps I doubt they'll leave out random parts. So it's probably better to just suggest that they continue that process rather than creating threads for each and every part.

But perhaps, we can influence the order they revamp the parts.

Sure, It would be cool.

I use Restock anyway

That is a good idea.

It would be pretty cool if they added a new NERVA that could be used for something like the Pathfinder shuttle.

honestly, if they revamp nervas, why not make it a nuclear update

Nuclear reactors, bigger NERVAs, Nuclear gas core(produces a lot of heat), better RTGs, nuclear fuel production from ore, etc.

Also, nuclear update should add part printer for the 1.11 inventory system revamp, along with a tiny nuclear engine to use(0.625m) the idea is to make building rockets off kerbin possible, why not make it so nukes can be used with it for higher efficiency. heres also a way to get xenon, reprocessing nuclear waste can give 2 options, convert to xenon, or make nuclear fuel(less than the amount of nuclear waste put in)

I support that idea

gives people a way to make xenon off planet, gives people a whole lot of power(2 reactors, 1.25m and 2.5m, 1.25m produces 500ec/s, 2.5m produces 2000 ec/s)

Nuclear gas cores would be extremely efficient but have low thrust(still higher than nerva, since its bigger) but would produce a huge amount of heat, as would reactors(to help deal with it, more radiators would be added that remove more heat, graphene radiators, conformal radiators, etc.) along with the option to make any fueltank liquidfuel only, or oxidiser only.

Tiny nuclear engine lacks a alternator, but is smaller, and is therefore good for sending out probes.

Nuclear reprocessor can also produce nuclear fuel from ore found on planets.

To use the stupid amount of power made in reactors, there would be 2 larger ion drives, 1.25m and 2.5m, both would be VASIMIR engines and would take 400ec/s and 1500 ec/s respectively, however, the largest VASIMIR produces the thrust of the NERVA, the 1.25m would produce 1/4 the thrust of the 2.5m VASIMIR. Both would have comparable efficiency to the ion engine already ingame, they can choose 2 ISPs, High ISP and low thrust, or Lower ISP(half normal ion ISP) but Higher thrust, higher thrust mode on largest one would have 2x NERVA thrust, on smaller one, 1/2 NERVA thrust.

Nuclear gas cores would run on LF and would have great ISP(1000-1200 ISP) but would produce a large amount of heat and would only come in 2.5m size and not produce much thrust(only about 2.5x nerva).

Nuclear Thermal jets would be able to run in any atmosphere and not use fuel, however, they would need to be cooled by new radiators designed for in atmo use.

Finally, a 2.5m NERVA would be made with slightly higher ISP(about 850 ISP) and would have much higher thrust(4x NERVA)
