Their Ullage Motors (small and large) are much more powerful than the sepratrons. (a) A fuel jettisoning system must be installed on each airplane unless it is shown that the airplane meets the climb requirements of 25.119 and 25.121(d) at maximum takeoff weight, less the actual or computed weight of fuel necessary for a 15-minute flight comprised of a takeoff, go-around, and landing at the airport of departure with the airplane configuration, speed, power, and thrust. KW Rocketry has two beefier options for this purpose that can push away much larger boosters. It looks awesome when the boosters peel off with force rather than just falling away. They can also be angled downward a tad (that is the top down, the rocket nozzle up) to push boosters both out and downward from the main craft.Ī nice side-effect is that it increases the cool factor of your staging by at least 50%. You can mount them on decouplers so you can jettison the extra weight once. The I-beams and structural panels however will not allow fuel to pass through them so if you want engines attached to I-beams to get fuel you will have to run a fuel line across instead. if they are aimed right at your main rocket they might burn a hole through a main fuel tank in the process. In fact, most parts in KSP allow fuel to go through them with some exceptions.
Build ships with multiple stages, and jettison parts away. Also pay attention to where the exhaust from the sepratrons goes. Keep an eye out for engine temperatures and fuel levels, and try not to explode. I tend to use them at the top and bottom of each booster (so four per side).
#KSP JETTISON FUEL FULL#
The feature of this type is that after jettisoning a radial stage all remaining tanks are still full so the rocket loses mass more quickly. This repeats until the last radial stage is jettisoned and only the center stage is running. I don't worry about the added weight and do a "just good enough to prevent disaster in most cases" job. After they run out of fuel those 2 could be jettisoned and the engines use the next 2 radial engines. They are not always necessary, but my theory is that anything falling off of your rocket (even if it is intentional) should be nudged away just to be on the safe side. The sepratrons work well for their intended purpose - to push other stuff away.
