Your mods are awesome by the way. I have a ton of mods installed so that's very possible but I wasn't able to find a patch related to the engine. None the less I did fix it. Turns out the Scylla was not exhibiting this behavior because it generates EC (not sure if that's a mod or not). I do have System heat and NFE installed. I was able to fix it by making the Deliverance generate EC. The root of the problem was the reactor power would sit at a low level when enabled and no fuel flowing and would need to ramp up when fuel started to flow. When it generates EC it ramps all the way up to full reactor power without fuel flow. So it seems like the collision of a bunch of mods. My fix isn't the right way but it works and if anyone else runs into this it might work for them too. If you're bored I can send you my mod list, but since it's fixed no need to waste anymore of your time.

I'll give deleting them a shot, I noticed that too and tried to change the values but it didn't seem to do anything. Also those two values are present in the other nuke aerospike (who's name eludes me at the moment) and it does not have the same ramp. The values on both engines were the same.

I'm using the deliverance on several ships and noticed it has a ramp up to full thrust. I'd like to break the balance of the engine the stop it from doing this to act more like other kerbal engines and provide full thrust instantly. I can't figure out how to change the .cfg to do that though. Can someone point me in the right direction to make this change? I've tried searching the forums and web but not had any luck.
