I'm creating a "mega" version of the LV-N Nerv in order to reduce part count on one of my mega-tankers. Instead of 48 engines, I'm going to use 6 engines that are 8x more powerful.
I've scaled up the physical size (x2 in all dimensions), mass (x8), maxThrust (x8) and alternator rate (x8). But I'm not sure whether and how much I should scale up heatProduction.
A single LV-N has heatProduction = 250. Multiplying it by 8 produces completely unreasonable amounts of heat. Can anyone recommend a fair value I can use that would generate roughly equivalent heat as 8 stock LV-N's?
