Warpedone

well, I tried mounting the nuclear engines out on struts (pointing straight) and they work a dream - as a result Jool Research Orbital Station is now in place and I still had over 25% of my delivery stage fuel left after using Duma for a slingshot approach. Will do some screen grabs of my creations and share them soon.

thanks - I'll try spacing them out as I normally put 3 or 4 together in a mid stage stack

Hello, I've been tinkering with KSP for a while and finally bought the full version. I now have an operational space station and outposts on Mun, Minmus, Duma and Eve. And lots of dead Kerbals obviously. However, the one thing I've not been able to get to work yet are the nuclear engines - I really want them for interplanetary travel due to the high impulse but the wretched things always seem to explode on stage separation when I use them. Can anyone explain what I'm doing wrong?
