Orion/Daedellus Propulsion

[Jonfliesgoats]

Great work with the NERVA engine!  May we please get Orion/Daedelus style pulse detonation propulsion?

Conventional PDE engines too:

I have mused over that one a few time myself. It'd be fun to destroy the KSC or flatten a moon or two.

But I am not sure how easy it would be to implement. Duna has no flat spot anywhere that I know of. The game would have to "Make" them...Maybe remember them as well?

Perhaps polishing what is already there would be easier?

There's already a mod for the Orion, but a small scaled Daedalus engine would be cool.

Conventional PDE iterations could be fun too.

I use it for all my motherships, its awesome if you want 40 km/s. 
It don't really fit in the game, for one they are very OP even in an real scale solar system, they are also a bit hard to use.
Have only done one burn with them who was not an solar escape trajectory.
