i Use normal reactor?

9 months ago

Hi, can I suggest to remove the special thruster reactor and let us use the normal one? Possible as a config setting. It would fit better as a "spaceship drive" if it could produce both thrust and power, and it's interesting to let us choose how much of reactor plasma is used for power vs thrust.

So the replacement reactor was chosen because the thruster cannot return fluoroketone when it consumes plasma. By forcing the unique reactor the only resource needed to be shipped to a platform is the fusion cell.

I think I'd be fine with burning up fluoroketone as a propellant if I could double duty my reactors for power and thrust. Since the usage of a fusion thruster rather implies large quantities of material already being launched into orbit, I don't think requiring some of that cargo be fluoroketone would be some huge issue.

I'll add a settings toggle for it in a future update

Awesome, thanks!

Water is a good default, available in space.

The default won't change, but a "hard" mode will get added
