Our newest engine, the Apex I is an absolute beast. It's heavy, expensive, and drinks RP-1 like there's no tomorrow, but it will have the power to get even your most poorly engineered contraptions into space.
It dwarfs the Mage I engine in size, power, and visuals.
Here are the details:
- Thrust: 3,200 kN
- Mass: 3,500 kg
- Price: $8,500,000
- Height: 4.2 m
- Diameter: 3.0 m
- Max Gimbal Angle: 2.5 degrees
- Fuel Consumption: 1,350 L/s
- Specific Impulse: 298 s
Here's a bonus shot of it in a highly ill-advised use case.
Can anyone guess the inspiration behind this engine? I'll give you a hint, if you are on a PC, the name of the engine is on your keyboard...
@dootdootbananabus ALL HAIL THE KRAKEN’S MIGHT!
rip
@AtomicFerret007 It would require Simpleplanes to have to be completely reprogrammed.
I'm probably one of the only people to ask this question:
Why not combine SimplePlanes with SR2?
(I bet money has something to do with it......)
@AndrewGarrison
Will there be little people in SR2?
If there will be people in SR2,will dropping one into a gas giant cause the Kraken to wake up (ksp people understand)
Rocketdyne F-1 (aka saturn 5 first stage engine)
The name was taken from the escape button because Apex sounds like it and the Apex is also for eascaping Earth's pull
@JoshMan I know its a real fuel
Will there be an engine in between the max thrust of the Mage I and this but slightly larger than Mage I?
(cryogenic methane/lox is best)
F-1 engine on the Saturn 5 first stage. Uses RP-1 and LOX as propellant.
Here’s one: The Republic of SimpleLandia @Venus
I own like three @Venus
Hopefully fingers crossed🤞 @Venus
It’s coming just wait... @Johnnyboy
Where dat update at
Yeah that makes sense
It better be good guys! Listen to @Venus! Or else...
will the game be paid?
Oh man! You guys are really getting good! Evan Venus is eager to see your progress!
Same @Venus
Yah @Venus
What Venus said
@AGuyTooSly there will be a career mode eventually, however the beta will be sandbox only to start
@JPGSP RP-1 Is a real fuel, but from these calculations I did, it seems to be different in density.
Hey! I know you probably don’t want to be too much like KSP, and I see you have a cost, but is there going to be some sort of career/contract system? If so, are the part going to be unlockable? Just thought it would be a good driver to the player. Cheers
