Advanced Thrusters

Update Feb 28, 2016
Update to reflect in components being required in order to enable the thruster. No longer can you construct the thruster without the high cost custom components.

Update Feb 24, 2016
Reduced cost of components by 66% in some cases. Cost for them is still far more expensive in Co and Ni than any vanilla component. Costs will continue to be tweeked.

A Thruster mod that utilizes new components that are specific to their Thruster type. (Initial Release)

This mod was/is being developed in conjuction with Maritime Law Mod.. It fills the role of Varied levels of thruster capablility with an ever increasing cost to build and operate.

The progression is as follows:

Vanilla Thruster = Unchanged from vanilla specs
Advanced Thruster = Thrust and Power requirements doubled, new components and added construction cost
Overloaded/OverPressure/OverDriven = Thrust is 50% higher than advanced, Power requirements double again, and construction cost is increased, more components are required.

New Compnents:
Turbo Pump - For Advanced and OverPressure Hydrogen Thrusters
Intercooler - For OverPressure Hydrogen Thrusters
High Energy Power Couplings - For Advanced and Overloaded Ion Thrusters
Atmospheric Compressor - For Advanced and OverDriven Atmospheric Thrusters

These components don't have the proper 3D model yet, each is using a placeholder, they will appear as either thruster components or large tube while floating in space.


ToDo:
Refine the component costs/build time
implement custom models for components
Add armor variants
Add Emergency Booster - Expendable non-rechargeable
Add Emergency Fuel Type
Any additional balancing needed for Maritime Law.
