Multiple engine specific impulse math

[Esoteric106]

ok so yo do use ALL enginges not just a single number for a set (this applies to different engines only correct if i was to use 8 45's it would still be the same isp correct?

Sorry, I can't get what you mean exactly, would you let me know where the parenthesis is closed?

I'll give you general explanation:

You should count all engines you use. Though if you have, say, 9 LV-T30 and 12 LV-T45, then it has same ISP with 3 LV-T30 and 4 LV-T45. (9=3*3, 12=4*3)

Try calculating the two, and spot the similarities.

What version are you using? Because I thinks the numbers may slightly be different.... you and wiki have the same answer and I'm getting slightly different numbers from in game... I'm using 1.2.2

IDK, I'm on mobile and using the values on wiki. It is clearly outdated..

this is what i pulled from in game just now...LV-T45 Th(ASL)167.969kn (VAC)215.000kn  Isp(ASL)250 (VAC)320 LFuel 6.166/s 02 7.536 (13.702)
And LV-T30 Th (ASL)205.161kn (VAC)240.000kn Isp(ASL)265 (VAC)210 LFuel 7.105 02 8.684 (15.789) so it appears wiki is outdated.....  

but i am doing the math correctly so that is what is importat!! thank you again Abastro for the final push kind sir
