To Get the best efficiency and delta v out of chemical rocket engines (especially nuclear thermal) you end up having very high burn times of like 2 hours. In real life that is not long at all compared to the whole journey, but when you are playing a game it is not fun to have to go through these long burns. For chemical rockets you should be able to have around 50x - 100x time warp out of atmosphere. I think this feature should at least be added to nuclear thermal engines. For example the craft in this post has a little over 9000 m/s of delta v, but it has a 2 and a half hour burn time. When you change the engine to a reasonable burn time you instead get about 5500 m/s of delta v.
