Hybrid Propulsion Please

[Kroslev Kerman]

Maybe a cool new propulsion for KSP is Hybrid Engines like Virgin Galatic's Spaceship 2 it uses Hybrid Propulsion Solid Fuel and Liquid Oxidizer and it will be powerfull and you can only throttle it full thrust or no thrust as a disadvantage(like you cant put it on half thrust only full or no thrust)

I might be wrong here, but if memory serves me, that tech has been around for a quite a while (100+years).

I actually helped build that engine. 

 

But overall, your suggestion, it's just an SRB.     Gameplay wise it doesn't separate itself enough from the stock SRB's to make it really worth including in stock.     I have air augmented SRB's in some of the mods I use, so using a LOx SRB would be pretty cool, but in a mod.

i mean like a new engine for KSP

For hybrid propulsion, you would need two propellants (excluding oxidiser here). Adding a new propellant would require parts to be created as storage units (fuel tanks), how much mass the propellant has, among other things.

Aren't all chemical rocket engines in KSP Liquid fuel and oxidizer?
Anyway, we have the Rapier, it uses LF or LFO. Or isn't that then considered hybrid because LF is treated as a single fuel? This may be peoples opinions but there are ISP variances among chemical engines that propose the only answer which is that LF as a placeholder term for anything really. You name it, Bill Pumps it.

You can also create a stock Hybrid propulsion system by having any engine of your choice and then use a landing leg or decoupler spring to eject solid propellant mass using any parts of your choosing, I'll choose Kerbal Sounds almost like pokemon...
