@AndrewGarrison Oh so the chamber pressure is a constant! In reality the thrust power would be a constant as the two different propellants share the same nuclear reactor (this the same thrust power). But I guess this approach could work too.
@AndrewGarrison the water NTRs should have around double the thrust as liquid hydrogen (same mass flow) as they share the same reactor (so the total energy is the same).
@AndrewGarrison I think you should have an “efficiency” tag in the engines’ XML. 1.0 will be the engine’s ideal performance, and 0.8 will be suitable for the stock system. This could also make the real engine makers’ lives easier @pedro16797 @AnotherFireFox
@AndrewGarrison I still insist on at least 10% reduction in Isp for rocket engines, and maybe doubling (or quadrupling) the mass of the engines (their twr should be around half to one forth of what they currently are)
For example, a KeroLOX staged aerospikes engine has a twr of 200. While in real life such engine would be lucky to get 50 (because aerospikes are incredibly heavy and full flow staged combustion uses heavy plumbing systems)

6.3 years agoYou can’t have efficient and power at the same time. More efficient engines are usually less powerful, or heavier, or more expensive.

12 isn't a thing
@AndrewGarrison I concluded that the engines are fine, the staged and full flow engines are expensive enough that they deserve to be this powerful.
In other words, using electric and gas generator I cycles are painful enough that nerfing them will kill me.

6.3 years ago@AndrewGarrison do you mind reducing the minimum engine size to 0.25? Small satellites need small engines. And retro motors for crewed capsules too.
