Inertia dampener, a 1000 science part

[randomness5555]

Guys, he's said that it doesn't work within 1000 KM of kerbin, but that's still inside it's SOI-therfore close enough to save a lot of DV going to and from high orbit around different planets. And there's one BIG use that none of you picked up on-Asteroid manipulation, those things are extremely heavy but if you can reduce the mass of them you can save a lot of work-so there IS at least one good use for this. Realism? I'm pretty sure there's an easy way to reduce mass using electricity, it's called cutting bits off with an ark welder XD . In all seriousness though I don't mind the idea of this part, it does seem like once you've finished the tech tree there should be some super effective way of getting around as a reward (But you guys feel free to argue about that) though it could also be a super efficient engine, a warp drive of some sort, maybe a device to open wormholes or whatever you like the idea of. Also, this seems suspiciously like the Mass Effect Element 0 (I assume the inspiration for this device)

We already have a super effective method of getting around called engines. I tend to use them fairly regularly.

Ark Welder xDDD

Yes, the difficulties of building a cost effective D class Asteroid hauler is what inspired this idea. I couldn't for the life of me build something that is under 3.000.000 in total cost

And although I know of Mass Effect, the real inspiration is from a 4x strategy title StarDrive, it has a ship part in designing that reduces overall mass of the vessel to achieve greater warp speeds, and I really liked that one.
