SLS's somewhat handy list of Alcubierre Drive/Hypothetical/Advanced Propulsion mods

[SpaceLaunchSystem]

For whatever reason, I felt the need to compile a list of these mods for reference. And what better place to do it than on the Forum?

ALCUBIERRE DRIVE MODS

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

USI Warp Drive (0.90)

My absolute favorite Alcubierre Drive mod. This Alcubierre Drive mod simulates in KSP how a real-world Alcubierre Drive would work by translating the ship's position. It is completely standalone and only requires the included Regolith mod to help convert ElectricCharge to ExoticMater.

KSP Interstellar (0.25)

KSP Interstellar is a plugin for Kerbal Space Program, designed to encourage bootstrapping toward ever more advanced levels of technology as well as utilising In-Situ resources to expand the reach of Kerbal civilization.

NOTE: As Fractal_UK is on (hopefully temporary) hiatus, Boris-Barboris has released an updated configuration here.

NASA IXS CLASS WARPSHIP, AND SPACEDOCKS (0.24.2)

Introducing the IXS Class Warpship concept from NASA scientist Dr. Harold White. This mod is for KSP-I lite. BETA TESTERS - please make sure to dock your current vessels and bring your kerbals home safely before upgrading, this 1.0 -will- break your beta versions, but you'll hopefully feel it is worth it when you see the improvements!

NOTE: While this mod is no longer being maintained, _Agustus_ has released an 0.90 maintenance version for RoverDude's USI Warp Drive HERE.

HYPOTHETICAL PROPULSION MODS

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

ORION AKA "OL' BOOM-BOOM" (0.25/0.90)

Quite possibly the most "kerbal" propulsion system out there. Mod is a WIP and does NOT work with 0.90 unless the correct .dll files are installed (download on the thread)

LCARS IMPULSE DRIVE (0.90)

Ideal for combination with StarVisions's SiFi Shipyard, this mod adds an ultra-advanced (and ultra-cool) sub-Lightspeed impulse drive.

​Netherdyne Mass Accelerator/Mass Driver (0.90)

These parts originally come from the Stanford Torus Mod, which reached version 0.50 on Curse on October 17th, 2014 before apparently having its development dis-continued (the release on the KSP Forums is even older, and only goes up to version 0.30). It was definitely worth re-releasing the mass driver parts.

Parameciumkid's Para-Sci Jump Drive (0.90)

This mod adds a Jump Drive, which is pretty much a teleporter. It requires a lot of ElectricCharge, so it is justifiable. I recommend using it with reactors or solar panels from NearFutureTechnologies.

ESLD Jump Beacons (0.24.2/0.90 fix)

​Like the other Jump Drive mod, this addon introduces supposedly non-OP teleportation devices for traveling to other planets FAST.

Joolian Discovery (0.90)

Adds the famous "Discovery One" spacecraft from the 1968 film 2001: A Space Odyssey. Part of the NecroBones suite of mods that includes such titles as Modular Rocket Systems (MRS), Fuel Tanks Plus, Color Coded Canisters, and my personal favorite, Burger Mod.

Advanced Propulsion Mods

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Near Future Propulsion (0.25/0.90)

This mod is jam-packed with ion thrusters, VASMIR engines, and more! Good luck with stacking enough RTGs and Solar Panels to run them at full power, though; I recommend NearFuture Electrical (same page, just scroll down).

Want a mod added to the list? Just reply with the mod's name and a link to the Forum thread or CurseForge page.

Add this one: http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/threads/66921-Part-Plugin-parameciumkid-s-Jump-Drive-v0-5-%28new-models-and-sound-effects!%29

One of the best warp mods imo. And its not actually that cheaty.

Also: ESLD Jump Beacons. It's for 0.24, but there's a 0.90 fix here

Done!

Feel free to post some more advanced propulsion mods, weather they're OP or not.

I might be working on a wormhole mod soon, so be ready to add it once I'm done
