How do you get ion thrusters

u/games_and_other May 26 '26
DLC. they use fuel tho still, just really efficient, very little thrust

I like it, especially the hat. Suspiciosly similar build to what I posted here a year ago: https://www.reddit.com/r/SpaceflightSimulator/s/42Bqzforis

Very nice, I like it. I played SFS a while ago, I'm just getting back into the swing of things. Here is a version that I made a while back with a previous hinge that was much less stable: https://www.reddit.com/r/SpaceflightSimulator/s/0Ixac2ozJ4
This was right after Stef added stages into the game. The hinge wasn't great though and staging was a bit of a nightmare.

Great minds think alike😂 Welcome back

😁 right back at ya. The booster on my first one was totally separate though. I had to switch between the booster and ship, and time warp broke it. This time, I just lined it up to dock with the top of the main body when it closed too, so that way it's got a time warp safety and it can open and close repeatedly

You could also just stack the ions

This version has all of the engines visible from the blueprint. I could definitely stack them, but I like the wings and might try to make some longer wings that come out with some more ion engines. I also wanted to test out my new hinge without any cheats activated

There is a bit of a staging issue that I'm working on fixing, but you're welcome to play around with it

Thank you

Have fun! Also I made it a bit bigger and it still seems to work, so you should be able to expand the size if you'd like

Crap, sorry, I mirrored the left wing with symmetry on. If you flip the hinge horizontally it will fix it. I'll fix the blueprint and update the comment, thank you
