That is really OP
Almost as much isp as an ion but almost twice the twr
Nice texturing, could use some more detail tho

Cool engine. The specific impulse is OP in my opinion, but I appreciate how the high weight and moderate thrust make it more balanced.
And congratulations on your first mod by the way, I gave you the modder badge :)

I tried to make the ISP good, but not as good as the ion. The mass not great, etc. Basicly I tried to make it fit in the stock game as much as possible.
well you beat me to it...... mine will use custom fuel to balance it however
Ehh. it's fine.

Ok. I am making another engine to add to the pack. Unfortunately, it won't load into the engines category.
