I've been trying to reproduce various spacecraft from this pack (since I don't really have good techniques for designing nuclear spacecraft), and i can't place it. Is it from a mod? It looks like an updated version of old nosecone from before 0.90, but I can't place it. To me, it looks like the Avionics Nosecone stuck on the end of the NCS Fuel tank Adapter (1.25 -> 0.625) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn't familiar with what they looked like now. Thanks! Surprisingly, the part is not covered by the fuel switch module--so it can only carry liquid fuel. Not very useful for that particular engine, but maybe I can tweak that. Edited January 31, 2016 by Synthesis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was working fine on 1.0.4 and I got big heat problems with 1.0.5 on the bulb.....They would heat and explode very quickly after start.... It looks like when the bulb engines are exposed to heat du to acceleration, when over 20km building speed to M4.5, when I stop my scramjet and start the bulb, they heat very quickly. If I replace bulb by stock LV-N, this won't happen. If i use bulb engines on Mun for example they won't heat..... So it looks like they can't be use after general heating du to acceleration or whatever else Randazzo suggestion (Heat Management mod) will work, but please note that Atomic Age (love it for almost-stock play) is ONLY A PARTS MOD, so you can easily edit heat production and such in the config files to properly correlate with current KSP 1.05 Nerva values - problems solved. P.S. I hope to see this mod come back in 1.1... please? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atlas2342 Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 One question, is this gonna have a 1.05 compatible version or straight to 1.1? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've used it quite a lot in 1.0.5, no problems at all. Certainly it has parts that overheat & explode, that's by design. To deal with that, add enough radiators, then they're fine.

gilflo Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 Nuclear Lightbulb, that you can tweakscale, is a fantastic nuclear engine for use out of atmosphere: very good isp, fantastic range with use of fuel only and good TWR. Use it with AHMS and 2 deployable radiators from Heat Management mod and it will never overheat, unless you use it in atmospheric flight on a spaceplane that would have encountered kinetic overheating. It's perfect for landers or interplanetary travel. If LightBulb temperature is beyond a critical temperature ( i don't which) it will never cooled and will explode very quickly. Maybe it could be your transition engine to reach Kerbin orbit on a rocket, as with rocket design you are not generally struggling with overheating to reach orbit. So if you start it in the last 20 kms, after rocket engines have shut down and if your rocket is not overheated, maybe it could be ok, but don't forget AHMS and radiators.....

Badsector Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 To me no problem with the lightbulb, you have only to use it with the correct adapter and 2 big stock folding radiators for every lightbulb you attack to the ship and seems enough balanced versus engine performance. What i find unbalanced are the radiators from this package, they need to be updated with 1.05 changes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpaceMouse Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 Hmm. I haven't tested this mod with the new version but i'd assume since KSP has stock radiators now you could just copy-paste values from stock ones and modify them as necessary.

Ouch! Yeah, I guess you're right, I never noticed that the only link for this was there. I even tried looking it up on archive.org just now... but unfortunately, the download link's not available. Guess I better jealously guard my copy from deletion until it's posted again somewhere! @Porkjet, is there anywhere else to download this mod?
