Does anyone else have a problem with their ion engines not working? No matter what I do, it won't produce thrust even though I see the lil ion bois shooting out the back at unreasonable speeds never to be seen again.

don’t forget that ion thrusters produce virtually no thrust whatsoever

That little blue plume shooting out the back is trying to tell you how much he sucks!

Craft mass will also make huge difference. Put one on a 500 kg. craft and you’ll see the apogee or perigee slowly ticking up a tenth of a kilometer. A significantly heavy craft you won’t notice anything for a while!
