You really need to work on the textures so it actually looks like a part from KSP. At present they're very bland and crude, even a color matching would strongly improve their aesthetics. Great concept, and I encourage you to keep at it! I noticed you haven't updated in some time, may I suggest if you want more motivation modding that you message a few other modders and get in on a team project? There's quite a few going!

Sorry for not finishing the code... It should be fixed this weekend.

Here's a little preview of what the code currently does :

Once in orbit, you'll have to point your ship toward the right direction and engage SAS. Then press O. You will get a huge boost of speed. The engine will stay active for 10 seconds, then it will stop. You can only use the engine 5 times, after that it will deactivate. I'm currently working on an "ABORT" button : if you press "O" again while boosting, it will cut-off the engine. I'm also thinking about custom sounds, ways for recharging the engine....

Interesting, I suppose because of limited jumps you will have to have them dock-able. Good thing we have two mods that replicate docking :)

I have linux multimedia studio so let me see what I can come up with.

I got bored today, and since the model was sitting at 904 polygons, I decided to reduce it by remaking everything.

Currently sits at 425 ish polygons, textured, unnoded but ready to go. Oh and it has a AO map in it so I should probably slap that on here as well.

To be honest, the texture on this is mediocre, here is a plain looking one if you want to do better.

I haven't searched through the other pages for a manual but how do i get this to work? I have my fuel tanks and FTL engine but it wont go.

How do you get these to active ate, ive made it into orbit and it just wont work?

So i cant get this to work, i reach orbit and nothing happens even though i have the fuel cell and engine connected.

Getting tired of your laziness of just searching through the pages, it's an engine that fires lots of thrust.

I already did search through the pages, already know its thrust dude, the problem is it doesn't work.

I feel like i'm missing something but i cant tell what.

For starters, use the Battery as the only fuel tank. It eats fuel like no tomorrow. Otherwise, it's your standard engine , 'cept the thrust , with is magnified exponentially.
