Exhausting the engines
Rocket-ship engines work by accelerating reaction mass in opposite direction, thus providing thrust. But this mass doesn’t just vanish when it leaves the

Operation of Nuclear Thermal Rocket
Main engine of Rosatom-Antonov K37-TNTRL can produce up to 750kN of thrust. This is way more than required within the Ring, yet it allows
Reaction Control System
RCS, commonly known as thrusters, is an essential system for spacecraft navigation. Rosatom-Antonow K37-TNTRL operates with reactor-powered hydrogen dioxide based exhaust allowing up
Day of the particle
Collisions of asteroids worked great, but they didn’t feel like large colliding rocks. There was a lack of debris and dust. Luckily,
Graphics and collision test
Today I managed to get the engine to do real graphics and gameplay of models made last weekend. Lighting is pretty good.
Model showcase: Rosatom-Antonov K37-TNTRL
This was a weekend of blending. I finally got about to finishing first in-game ship model. Here are some showcase renderings: Next

Nuclear shadow over the Rings
Nuclear Thermal Rocket – an ancient, XX century idea of using fission reactor to superheated water to propel spacecraft casts a long
Rosatom-Antonov K37-TNTRL
Boasting 750kN of thrust with a mass of just 37.2T Rosatom-Antonov K37-TNTRL is the de-facto workhorse of the ring. High efficiency of
Aging metal and mystery of rotating light
In ΔV you will have an opportunity to fly many different ships, both new and used. Let’s be honest – mostly used
