[20/05/2015] LV-2N & LV-4N Nuclear Engine Clusters

[Kommitz]

Simple parts that do what you'd expect; work like multiple LV-N style engines but conveniently stuck together as one part.

Update to an old engine I made years ago.

LV-4N: 3.75m, 280 thrust, 185-800 Isp.

LV-2N: 2.5m, 130 thrust, 185-800 Isp.

ooooooooooooohhhhh shiny!!!! Must have!!!

[Vespene]

Fantastico! Downloading when I get home.

Thanks for lowering part counts!

[Neutrinovore]

Nice looking parts!

I take it these are 2.5 meters in diameter?

[Kommitz]

The 4N is 3.75m, 2N is 2.5m.

[JID00Gaming]

Radial nuclear engine!!!!!

[Tommygun]

There's nothing like a new nuclear engine to give you that warm fuzzy feeling on the inside.

[BaseDrifter]

Very nice!

[Neutrinovore]

The 4N is 3.75m, 2N is 2.5m.

Ah hah, good to know, thank you! I shall DL at my earliest opportunity.

[Hairy Al]

Gives me a warm glow all over... :-)

[NecroBones]

Ooh, very pretty!

[kiwiak]

Nice, one!

Suggestion: add fuel switching like with these engines from atomic age mod.

[ManuxKerb]

Any chance of an update fpr 102 ?

Thanks

[Mecripp]

@ ManuxKerb You just bootlegged a mod and you don't know how to update 2 engines ?

[RomanCat]

Add:

Just wondering when/if there's a plan to update these for 1.0.2 via KerbalStuff and CKAN. Obviously we can call fix it ourselves for personal use, but the "all rights reserved" part means no one can legally make an unofficial re-release of it, if this project is abandoned. I know it's way too early to make assumptions; I'm just pointing this out in case anyone was thinking along those lines.

These are very pretty engines, so I'm looking forward to an update.

[Kommitz]

These should be updated now (run on liquidfuel only, changed heat stats), let me know if I've done something wrong. New engine and heat systems are new to me obviously.

The new heat system really messes with the thermal animations, I'll try and take a look at improving them but it'll be a while. I recently reformatted my PC and all my old project files are all scattered and disorganised.

[InsanePlumber]

Thank you for the update!

My little contribution, textures converted to DDS format.

Link to Google Drive - Only for next 48h.

>>> Remember to remove the old textures, they have the same names as those converted to a DDS format. <<<

@Kommitz

Please use them in the next update, if you want to.

Does the game load .dds textures now? I'd have converted them myself if I knew.

Yes. All Squad textures have been converted to DDS for KSP 1.0+. We modders no longer use MBM

[Galatea]

These should be updated now...

Yay! My favorite engine maker is back in business! Your nuclear parts always give me a warm glow...

[Teflon_Mike]

I missed using the twin nerva, I Still have a copy of the original backed up from before the spaceport got taken down, I never thought i'd see this return from the grave, and with such a nicely polished model too... Thanks Kommitz!

[Jakoman7]

Quick question: I'm having trouble installing. Do I need to slap it into gamedata or into squad/parts? Thanks

[Mecripp]

Gamedata all mods go in gamedata folder or should.

[Requia]

Are there any known conflicts with other mods for this? CKAN is telling me its not installable but won't tell me why. Not sure if its safe to manually install it with everything else I have.
