Standalone Fusion systems from Interstellar-Extended?

Recommended Posts

Hello, so I'm trying to enjoy the Interstellar-Extended mod, but there's a lot of elements that I'm either 100% not going to use or that are too complex for me to easily adapt to. So, I suppose this is a minor mod request, if the fusion-based engines and reactors can be released as a standalone set (with Megajoules replaced with normal Electric charge). Specifically I'm referring to the Daedalus, Kerbstein, Vista and Magneto-Inertial fusion engines, and the Stellarator, MFC Tomahawk, Plasma Jet Magneto-Inertial and Magnetised Target Fusion reactors. I know it's a very specific request, but if someone would be kind enough to do it, that would be greatly appreciated.

It's not about the parts, it's mostly about the fact that all the engines/reactors need lots of complicated equipment just to support and fuel them

KSPIE contain several part which are quite simple to use. Perhaps you could clarify exactly what you think is too complex.

Notice that in the next release the Epstein engine no longer needs electric power, which means you can simply put it on any vessel, add some radiators and it should work

You can use the same fusion engine module to create your own simplified Fusion mod.

While not officially released, nerteas dev release for Far future technologies, adds in engines similar to the design theme of KSPI, while remaining as simple plug-and-play as stock engines.

Assuming you manually download the right updated versions of FFTs dependencie mods(B9PartSwitch, CRP, ModuleManager and CryoTanks), it should work in 1.4.5(despite not having been updated since 1.3.1)

I'm currently working on a pile of fission rockets (might do a beta soon), and was entertaining the idea of doing fusion engines when I finish that. If enough people seem to want it, I might be tempted to do just that.

 

My parts are straightforward to use (they just work) and remain balanced. It is a very lightweight and minimalist approach compared to how KSPIe handles things
