At the same time, we have our thermal engine, which is using up all the power provided by the reactor (the reactor is running at 100%), yet is putting out 4718.8 kN at an Isp of 2997.1 seconds, meaning that its total dissipated power is only about 14 gigawatts.
I'm a new KSPI user, and so I am stupid about these things. I was recently surprised to see that my 3.75m Thermal Engine was also maxing at 2997.1 Isp . I expected it to be either:
- 2582, because the tooltip for the thermal engine suggests it will be 17 * SQRT(Core Temperature), and the Core Temp of my 3.75M fusion reactor is 23078. 17*Sqrt(23078)=2582
How does this really work? Is 2997.1 a buggy result, or the expected result? If expected, can you help me understand why/how this is correct and how I can predict Isp and thrust for the engine?

The fix:
Kalizec's fix as described in http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/threads/35777-Can-t-Undock-Bug-How-To-Fix?p=902003&viewfull=1#post902003 worked very well for me. Thank you!
