EXCELSIOR CLASS release

[cd7890]

If you attach the least fuel efficient rocket to a fuel tank, and attach that to the command pod and launch, you can leave the planet's gravitational pull entirely.

would the least fuel efficient one be the E-1000 ?

[fermun]

With just the standard parachute, capsule, decoupler, fuel, engine setup any of the engines will take you past escape velocity.

true,but i said they wont get you into orbit

A bit over powered?

no they are not,they are supposed to be powerful

When 'cost' is actually implemented as a game mechanic, there may be some room for balancing.

[Monster10]

Yes.

[cd7890]

Yes.

well,it is also the most powerful,so i think there is actually an increased specific impulse(read:velocity change)

[fazm]

Looking forward to sending little mans a long way

[KaziArmada]

A small suggestion maybe?

If these are supposed to be used for long travel, why not make them nearly useless in Atmo. Once we have a moon to go to, one of these would be AWESOME to have for space travel use and retro rocket use

if i make them useless in the atmosphere then it defeats the purpose of the -800 and -1000 series since those happen to be of most use in lower stages

well fast is offically an understatement by the looks of it

[sirmonkey]

man the E-1000's are redonkulous.. way over powered and thus makes them insanely fuel efficient..

case in point, look at the below picture and note what my thrust is at, and yes i have 5 of the E-1000's on this thing because i was bored as you can tell by all the XL fuel tanks

[Andras]

Note to self- don't mix 1 E-1000 in the center slot of the 5x1m plate with 4 normal LFRs, or you exceed it's strength limit.

NTS2- 5 of the 600s can't be run at over 1/3 power, but the fuel will last forever if you do.

Jeez- 4 E800s under 2 3m tanks went to 10.1km/s @ 2.75m km. Thrust was limited to 1/3 power due to structure strength

ETA 4- I put 3 of the E1000 motors under a single stock fuel tank and command capsule and the poor buggers are over 300km up and still burning., burnout was at 342km and 1900m/s

well,that shows the power of those engines

that is why the E-1000's may be retired,they are just too powerful to be used normally

Archive is corrput

I tried it with Firefox and IE

Okay, thank you!

the archive seems to be corrupted, i downloaded multiple times but couldnt open it

That site is down, could you please point me to a site that is live and contains the mod?

[Guest Flixxbeatz]

that\'s nice necro-ing you\'ve done there...

[Spoot Knight]

Also the Repository was the only mentioned site when the OP was edited, since that\'s now down it\'s possible that this is lost entirely. Unless cd7890 logs back in sometime in the future (Last online September 17), it might not be rehosted.

WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE

Stop necroing threads.
