mcwaffles2003 Posted September 15, 2021 Share Posted September 15, 2021 (edited) I feel like this would be a fun challenge. Every atmosphere in KSP allows jet engines to operate but what if some planets with atmospheres didn't allow this? It is already the case that jet engines will not operate in atmospheres without oxygen... Sorry, I'm stupid sometimes Edited September 15, 2021 by mcwaffles2003 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Awfulwaffle Posted September 15, 2021 Share Posted September 15, 2021 (edited) I never understood that aspect of the first game, whenever I landed an SSTO on eve it blew my mind that it could still function and I hope they fix this in the new planets or even already existing planets. So yes, please add no oxygen atmospheres for the possibility of things like nuclear jet engines. Edited September 15, 2021 by Awfulwaffle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought about specifying not the Kerbol planets for continuity's sake but honestly I wouldn't mind if it changed. That said though, yeah, if nuclear jet engines get included they would still work since they don't rely on oxygen anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OHara Posted September 15, 2021 Share Posted September 15, 2021 In stock KSP1, jet engines work only on Kerbin and Laythe; no oxygen for air-breathing engines at stock KSP's Eve or Duna or Jool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could have sworn jet engines worked, but nope. My bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shdwlrd Posted September 15, 2021 Share Posted September 15, 2021 It would be helpful to be able to use oxidizer for jet engines. At that point it wouldn't matter much if there is O2 in the atmosphere. Of course, there would need to be enough atmosphere to be effective.

The rapier is a rocket motor and jet engine in one. (Neither stage is really efficient anyway) What I'm thinking is using a standard turbine engine setup to use an oxidizer to allow combustion of regular jet fuel in an non oxygen rich atmosphere. Basically creating an oxygen rich area in the within the combustion area of the turbine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
