hoojiwana Posted September 24, 2015 Share Posted September 24, 2015 Nice, looking forward to where this goes.I asked this before while you were streaming, but is the plan to create an engine Module that would be usable for other pulsed propulsion? There's a bunch of cool ideas that could be made into usable parts if that were the case, from mass drivers to crazy fusion engines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shynung Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 Call the Atomic Rockets guy. He's made a mod just like this before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aelixander Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 I am proud to have supported the creation of this mod! Everyone whom loves RoverDudes stuff should head over to Patreon!Anyway!! I am very excited to see this take shape.What are some of the broad strokes you hope to accomplish with this? =D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nothalogh Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 Call the Atomic Rockets guy. He's made a mod just like this before.Nyrath has been AWOL for a while now, and while he is the resident authority on starship propulsion, it's good to see someone like Roverdude picking up the concept and fleshing it out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FreeThinker Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 Nyrath has been AWOL for a while now, and while he is the resident authority on starship propulsion, it's good to see someone like Roverdude picking up the concept and fleshing it outYes, but I do hope he takes the realsim part serious. In contrast to Hyperdrives, this is a part that we know how to construct. I noticed several problems with the picture, for one, the small pusher plate size in comparison to the explosion. A small pusher plate would signicanlty lower the efficency, but perhaps this is his intension to fit it better in a kerbal universe. Second, Enriched Uranium is used as a resource which is not accurate because most of the mass of the nuke would not be Uranium but the shaped charge to generate the pulse. I suggest one or more seperate resources which represent a single type of nuclear pulse device. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And that pic is out of date (you're looking at the prototype). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DuoDex Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 Looks like you got a bunch of supporters on Patreon. I should go and pledge something there.Also : are you insane? This mod is insane. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoverDude Posted September 25, 2015 Author Share Posted September 25, 2015 heh, yeah also streaming a lot of the of the work on it.Side note. Given how many variants of this were out there, our reference for this one is the (relatively) dinky 10m USAF Orion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skykooler Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 Wow, one of the coolest late-game mods being resurrected! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoverDude Posted September 25, 2015 Author Share Posted September 25, 2015 Update.Moved it to a 5m part, did some more tweaking on the pulse engine code (thermal, and a few other goodies).Will be streaming the texturing portion likely this evening Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothalogh Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 Moved it to a 5m partNeeds to be 10 or 15 meters, Orion is no joking matter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedParadize Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 In kerbal world, everything is much smaller... And it would be realy painfull to work with +10 meter part. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
