Discussion XR1 propulsion idea

[Bitmag]

Hi! Don't know exactly where to post this message, but:

It will be great to have one more engine: the ion engine in XR1. It will add great possibilities in long travels

It's been suggested many times.

The problem is navigation and keeping your ship from spinning under heavy time acceleration.

 

[Sky Captain]

It can be done. Use the default thrust and ISP to take off into orbit, then save scenario and quit the sim, open the XR1 config file, do the recquired changes to main engine thrust and ISP and run your saved scenario with XR1 in orbit.

Why have the engine onboard the XR1? Make a module and dock to it.

 

[T.Neo]

Long distance travels in a craft like the XR1 have never made sense to me.

It would be you and four other people trapped in a small cabin for several months, with no artificial gravity and limited space for supplies.

There is an MFD that can set xour thrust to ion engine level and hold the attitude. IEAT Mfd
