[broken ;~;] O-10 Monoprop engine jet aesthetic - Has anyone done this yet?

[HafCoJoe]

I've been experimenting with the new O-10 monopropellant engine as an aesthetic piece (especially since it is massless) and this is what I've come up with. I think it's pretty cool. You?

wow that looks pretty sick, I wonder how it would look around a RAPIER?

Ooh, no I have not done that! It's certainly intriguing, but I haven't found much use for that yet, so I don't use it all that much. Nor do I use the Vernor much, but I'm sure they'll come in handy soon enough!

Twitch link doesn't work though.

I've found the Vernors useful for forcing up the nose of heavy spaceplanes just before starting the oxidising burn. There's not a lot of conventional pitch authority in the thin air of 30,000m.

I've found the Vernor good for pushing around big ships in orbit, nice to use fewer of them and not need monoprop tankage. I'd actually like a lower powered version to replace regular RCS thrusters on smaller ships.

Agree on the O-10, though. I thought it would be useful for RCS tugs but I've found that I never needed it when installed, and I've switched to nuclear/Vernor tugs for moving big things.

Looks a bit like the thermal turbojet from interstellar

UPDATE: The speed update .24.2 made the O-10 much smaller and this design doesn't work anymore . Link doesn't work eh? I can't fix that from my phone but you can find it on my stream if you really want to see it

[BagelRabbit]

I actually think that the downscale might work better for my purposes. Keep in mind that with most of my smaller designs, a jet engine would be ridiculously large and unwieldy. I could, however, wrap the engines around a smaller fuel tank or even a strut, for a tiny little aesthetically pleasing design.

This may not be "broken" after all. I'm going to see what I can do with it.

My fault, sorry

Indeed. You do build quite well in small scale. KSP really needs a probe sized intake/tank/jet. And a note I missed in your message, the announce time you said was good.

@gusturbo: I'd quote you but my phone is stupid . MURRRR I LIKED IT THE WAY IT WAS! Lol I don't mind you can do similar aesthetics with the vernier engine. it's exhaust was a bit comical anyways .

Oh and commander Jeb, yeah I was thinking of that for a bit.

[Tortoise]

Did you design that to fly with FAR? It looks awesome.

[HafCoJoe]

No I did not . And also because of the .24.2 hotpatch it shrunk the O-10 so this doesn't work anymore on standard size parts. You can do similar things with the Vernier engine though.

[PDCWolf]

I edited it and made it into a proper vernier engine which I use for vectoring/fin-less rockets
