True  maybe names should be kept conotation-free.

[Nertea]

Lots of options for names, will take them under advisement. 

Two images for today, first I think is a bit interesting, showing 1.25m kerolox, methalox and hydrolox engines. 

And progress through the roadmap, the Raptor Vacuum (and boattail regular Raptor:

The chart isn't entirely accurate, as the bottom row is comparing two boosters with a sustainer. It's a shame there aren't any mods with hydrolox booster engines, they're pretty rare in real life but that hasn't stopped people from putting other rare engine types into KSP.

[StarStreak2109]

Wow, the detail on those engines is mindblowing!

the RS-68 in cryoengines is pretty much a booster IMO, and the LH2 rhino too IMO

so I can make my NFLV starship with the 7.5m Starship parts!

Here's the Harrier aka TQ11/12, the 1.875m vacuum engine.

Will this thingy is going to act like 2 engines in one, like its supposed to be in reality?

An interesting question. It does appear to have the built-in verniers at the top which looks like the TQ11. I don't know if it will be "two engines" though. I think it's shipped as a unit. Here's the TQ11 engine: http://landspace.com/news/shownews.php?id=178&lang=gb

No, I don't really see the gameplay value of this. A user could configure it this way though. 

[Nertea]

Today's screenshot is of the BE-4. 

@DylanSemrau has graciously donated the model , which I have adjusted slightly to fit the mounting style of my engines and textured to fit in with the rest. It's a great model and didn't feel like reinventing the wheel. 

Actuators will of course line up ingame. 

[Nertea]

 

and what's inside?

 

[Spaceman.Spiff]

Will this be 3.75 or 5m?

[Starhelperdude]

this will be perfect for my minii starhsip version called starboat!

3.75m

oh, too small for starboat

kinda of a bummer, 3.75 is a bit too small but also not big enough for anything

[Starhelperdude]

I could make it a sort of Falon 9 Methalox with a Raptor-Vac Upper stage

Starboat is gonna be hydrogen fueled

These models look great and also make me glad I recently upgraded to 64 GB of RAM (yikes).  I've been looking forward to this for a long time.  A few questions:

- Will each single-engine model have "compact" mount variants to pack more across a given tank/base diameter?

- Will there be a corresponding set of switchable variant and single port CH4/Ox RCS blocks in different thrust sizes, or a patch for existing Stock/ReStock RCS selections?  The individual port configuration RCS blocks with integrated fuel cells in NFLV NearFutureMethalox seem overly complex for a compound-curvy KSP-ish Starship.

Wow. That’s a lot. I only have 16 but I run all of the NertMods plus AVP 8k and Parallax.

Probably.
