Larger nozzles to make your engines look more sensible.

If you want to know why vacuum engines have larger nozzles, check out Scott Manley’s video here


Four vacuum engines (left to right):
1. Mage I Vac (Stock, No Nozzle Gimbal)
2. Apex I Vac (Stock, No Nozzle Gimbal)
3. Apex I Vac (Tinkered, Gimbal)
4. Mage I Vac (Tinkered, Gimbal)

The stock ones I could not make them gimbal without glitching out. The nozzles won’t move, but the engines still have 50% of their gimbal range.

There is a small fuel adapter above each engine, drag that or the fuel tank below it into the top left corner to make it into a subassembly.

To see the Mage I Vac stock in action go to my Iota 1.

    Ironically, the vaccum impulse of the engine doesn't change.

    @PorkyClown3 The tinkered nozzles are massless and attached to two collisionless hinges. Thanks btw!
