KSPI-E has an actual quantum vacuum engine, however it produces so much heat it's virtually unusable considering how much thrust it makes and electricity it uses.

you could just take a stock Xenon EM engine and throw the ratios out of wack, implement tweak scale, etc, etc.

you could also look into Solaris Hypernotics; they use "Virtual Particle" technology which is supposedly similar. it's also a bit more stock-alike friendly because their engines use LF/LFOX and not Interstellar Fuel switch... so no mile long dropdown menus.

Well, from my understanding, the heat is realistic because the EM drive are essentialy very strong microwace heating up a resonating cavity..

realistic yes, fun no. it's also absolutely pointless at the 3.75meter size. I wish you could implement some form of magnetic cooling for engines/waste heat in upcoming versions of KSPI-E. (i am trying and failing miserably on that front)
