Roverdude, just wanted to let you know, AWESOME mod! Nice to see NPP getting some deserved love. Wanted to let you know that you can safely launch a vessel using the 2500 pulse units on max throttle I just made an account so not sure how to add screenshots, but I launched a 7.4 kiloton vessel to orbit using approx 150 pulse units. It was probably the gentlest space launch I've ever conducted, with the highest G's experienced being 3.2, Jeb fell asleep and he was the pilot So yeah fully equipped and self sufficient space colony with landing, mining, and vessel constructing capacity, with support capacity for 30 kerbals. 1 Single vessel, 7.4 kilotons, ~150 PU, and an incredibly gentle ride to orbit for 30 kerbals. I gave you the story because I figured you might want to see if the numbers were consistent with what you wanted the orion to do. I figure I was pretty close to the high end of what a single engine will accomplish, while at the low end of a realistic launch. I think it balances out pretty nicely, but not sure where you're aiming.
