I made a tanning bed.

A healthy glow!

Finally! A use for the ion engine!

[Norpo]

I don't know why, but with the few times I've used ion engines I've never gotten that exhaust trail..

I was using HotRockets.

I was using HotRockets.

Ah, I see that exhaust all the time and figured it was stock, thanks

EDIT: I would use it if my framerate didn't drop every time I look at something remotely GPU intensive...

[problemecium]

psh, my framerate drops if I look at the computer screen. Never stopped me from building this:

Ion Tanning? Cant be healthy, but neither is flying in experimental rockets/planes/VTOLS

[Sirrobert]

Can't be any more dangerous than sitting under a conventional rocket

[OrtwinS]

Can't be any more dangerous than sitting under a conventional rocket

Which my kerbals do all the time, if when they escape my attention.

Damn adrenaline addicts.

[Sirrobert]

I think you'd get a cooler picture if you used texture replacer to get them out of the space suit btw

[dryer_lint]

Conventional rockets are safer then regular tanning beds

True story.

[Accelerando]

I've been playing video games for so long, I thought you'd figured out a way to make leather in KSP before I clicked on the thread.

Damn slick, too!

Almost looks like a Star Trek transporter.

So that's why people take so long inside tanning beds, they're actually transporters, and they command a ship while they are in it!

interesting use of parts I thought about using Structural panels, I beams and RTGs to make a sauna for my Kerbals, because nothing says "Warm and Toasty" like Blutonium-238   or I could replace the RTGs with an ant engine firing at very low thrust so there's a tiny plume of exaust hoping its a hydrolox engine because I just made for my Kerbals a relaxing steam room.

It's stock, but it wasn't there, originally.  The exhaust trail was a relatively recent addition-- 1.0.5, I think.  So if it's been a long time since you used one, that could explain it.

I was really happy when they added it; I love ion engines (for certain specialized uses), and the glowy exhaust makes them more satisfying to me.

I thought of that too; now someone needs to actually make one!

I built it there. Not to derail the thread, but check my signature for something similar.
