Specialized Hydrogen thrusters

Just by changing the hydrogen thrusters, you can specialize a ship to be more atmospheric or space-oriented.

Each has double the thrusting power of the regular Hydrogen thruster and consumes 5 times less hydrogen at max thrust so they are 10 times more efficient per KN of thrust.

The downside is that they perform very poorly when outside of their environment.
The Atmospheric specialized thruster will only give 10% of its max thrust in the vacuum of Space.
And Vice versa the space-specialized thruster will give 10% of its max thrust at sea level.

Also, Each variant requires more parts than the regular Hydrogen thrusters
For the atmospheric thrusters, they require extra motors and reactor components
For the Space thrusters, they require extra thrusters components and also reactor components

Lastly, the flame of each type of thruster is a different colour to differentiate them, Blue for the space-variant and darker orange for the atmospheric variant.



I was thinking of making a new scenario where the player would search the system to discover POI that would give him new technologies or other rewards, replacing the tech tree progression. I was looking around for some mods to add some technologies and was inspired by the Epstein drive and Hydrogen fueled atmospheric thruster but did not like the efficiency of each. so I made this instead.


IRL when designing a rocket engine, the shape of the nozzle extension will differ if they are working at sea level or if they are working at a very high altitude. If a rocket has multiple stages like the Appolo missions the first stage nozzle will be more efficient at sea level than the last stage and vice versa. When designing a nozzle for the space shuttle that had to go from sea level to space, it was not as efficient at sea level or in space it was designed to be more of a midway.


(Fix Update)
There was an error in the industrial Hydrogen atmospheric thruster it used thrusters components instead of motors it now use motors like the regular Hydrogen atmospheric thruster
