How do you survive ion burns?

[quote name='DancesWithSquirrels']Kerbal Alarm Clock for the _long_ burns (like launching for Moho), physics acceleration to x4, and building my ships so that they have about 1 m/s/s acceleration; I haven't had a problem with any of my missions. [/QUOTE]

This, when I was using VASMIR engines from the Near Future mod to push a fuel tanker to Moho so that I could get enough fuel to my Grand Tour vessel to land, I started the burn, set a Kerbal Alarm Clock alarm to pause the game ~30 seconds before the burn was supposed to end, used physical time-warp and went to bed for the night.(at which point I learned that you should not do this if the burn will continue past a SOI transition).

Then getting back from Moho I used the klaw on my Grand Tour to let the much more efficient tanker engine(16K ISP) push the whole thing towards Gilly. It was large enough to lag without time warp and to unstable to use physical time warp, so I used the above method for a multi-hour real-time burn while I was sleeping.

You can strap multiple ion engines on your craft.

I used to do 10 min Ion or NERVA burns , I just learned ALT > trick a little while back. Those long burns didn't mind me at all.
