My Quest For Warp Drives and Self Sufficient Electric Orbit Exiting. (Completely electric SSTO's)

[areutheman]

I'm rather new to the game and am getting quite tired of Fuel Management, I am looking for mods that provide realistic non cheating, electric propulsion, more or less fuelless, completely electric engines that have substantially more power than the one stock electric engine. Im willing to do my own research on leads, just give me a point in the right direction. Or maybe you have found an almost perfect way of using the stock electric engines to do what ever you need to do, im willing to look into that as well!

Thanks so much!

This request for an add-on has been moved to General Add-on Affairs.

KSP Interstellar has some plasma thrusters that can be upgraded to use "vacuum plasma." Whether that's realistic is matter of some debate. I believe there are also stand alone mods for similar engines.

On another note, it is possible to build stock SSTOs using the Ion engines, though that's necessarily unrealistic since Ion engines can only provide thrust in a vacuum and the stock engines provide about 2000x the thrust of the real thing.

Near Future Technologies has a wide variety of electric engines that use argon, xenon or hydrogen as reaction mass. Thing is, though, you can either have realism, or you can have high-thrust reaction-less engines. You can't really have both at the same time.

Interstellar mod is the most long winded mod i have ever seen for this game but its well worth it.
